Keep the Pace: AI-Generated Bricklaying That 'Works'

Description

A photo meme of two construction workers building a brick wall, with a 'cre8' watermark top-right. The wall's lower courses are chaotic - bricks laid at random angles, vertical, diagonal, no consistent bond pattern - while the upper rows the second worker is laying look neat. Chat-bubble captions overlay the photo: the left worker (dark cap, blue jacket) says 'Maybe we should pause and check the AI-generated code?'; the right worker (bucket hat, red jacket) replies 'No, keep the pace, you see it works.' The crooked masonry is a visual metaphor for shipping AI-generated code without review: structurally dubious foundations that 'work' for now, with velocity prioritized over verification

Every brick passed unit tests; the wall failed integration.

It hits home knowing that your app is just another generic crud webapp, same as 98% of the code in existence, thus almost all edge cases have been solved...so, naturally –– of course, even if you check generated code, it's going to be fine 9/10 times...what I'm trying to say is: you can both pause and check and keep the pace...

  except the ai can make an assumption that you are just dev testing, and later will add some security things. but vibecoders not always read what ai wrote them

  Yes, it's still a human bottleneck...

  So, that is how guilt-presuming justice™ works, basically: if a person is subject to prosecution, then he/she is most probably guilty and deserves a sentence — no thinking required.
