Friends With Benefits but the Benefit Is Reviewing Each Other's Vibe Coded PRs

Description

A tweet screenshot from Thariq (@trq212, verified with blue checkmark) on a black background reading: 'friends with benefits but the benefit is reviewing each others vibe coded PRs'. The tweet redefines the phrase 'friends with benefits' in a developer context where the 'benefit' isn't romantic but rather the mutual obligation of code reviewing pull requests that were generated through vibe coding (AI-assisted coding without deep understanding). The humor layers multiple references: the social/dating trope, the modern phenomenon of vibe coding with LLMs, and the dreaded task of reviewing code you both know was AI-generated and probably barely understood by the author

I'd rather have friends with benefits, but the benefit is a murder suicide
