I found the exact same when I started vibe coding new features in https://github.com/CanineHQ/canine

Claude is super good as making it seem like it’s an expert in kubernetes, but then undercovering certain decisions, it’s basically optimizing to try to make things look like they work.

An example is, i wanted to develop a feature to easily fork a managed Postgres database with a k8s cluster. The thing it did was to copy the entirety of the source db to localhost, then copy it back out to the cluster, rather than just running the job within the cluster.

Now I’m pretty stressed after a 1 hour vibe coding session, having to now review and digest and think through the code that it wrote. Implementations like that scare me — if I accidentally missed it and merged it — since there are real people who rely on canine.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m writing everything by hand, but I now always map out how I would do something before asking ai to approach it
