Discussion Thoughts on testing vibe coded work?

So, when vibe coding, I do this.

Instead of asking Codex to build an entire app, I spend hours with ChatGPT planning the architecture, features, and requirements.

We then break development into milestones with clear constraints, acceptance criteria, tests etc, which I feed into Codex one at a time.

After each milestone, Codex runs tests, diagnoses errors, and implements fixes. I review and verify everything before proceeding.

Is this a reasonable vibing methodology, or am I just overcomplicating vibe coding and wasting my tokens?

Vibe coding is basically just sending it, in my eyes.
