``` - code I don’t need to model in my head (low risk, follows established conventions, predictable, easy to verify), and

- code I can’t help modelling in my head (business-critical, novel, experimental, or introduces new patterns). I feel like there’s actually one or two more shades in between. ```

Sometimes I think something belongs in the second category, but then it turns out it’s really more like the first. And sometimes something is second-category, but for the sake of getting things done, it makes more sense to treat it like the first.

If vibe coding keeps evolving, this is probably the path it needs to explore. I just wonder what we’ll end up discovering along the way.

If it’s in the second category, I struggle not to mentally model it. How do you stop yourself? And should you?
