.... are you saying that you can't just open up a file "written" by spicy autocomplete and add/change parts of it?

If I wanted to spend a lot of time reading the code and figuring out what part actually needs changing, sure... but in this case it's faster to pay for more tokens and get the AI to do it.

For code I wrote, it's typically faster for me to modify it than to get the AI to do it.

So what you're saying is, you don't really know what spicy autocomplete is generating because you aren't reading it.

Great stuff champ. Really dispelling the idea that vibe coders have no idea what slop is being churned out. Top marks.
