Interesting project and (possibly more) interesting explanation of the development process. I agree with the author that the primary difference between vibe slop and real engineering is just reading the lines of code. However it does feel like we are just on the cusp of only needing to read the tests and _not_ all the lines of code. Maybe a few more model generations and we will be there.

For some projects I think only reading the tests is probably fine. In this project I didn’t think it was enough purely because it’s a port of existing code, so there was a need to validate the port was as exact as it could be.

Many projects would be just fine if you created a comprehensive-enough set of tests that you understood to be enough.
