I think the rationale is that with the right tools you can move much faster, and not burn everything to the ground, than just rawdogging Claude. If you haven't bothered setting up extra tools you may still be faster / better than old you, but not better than the you that could be. I'm not preaching, that's just the idea.

Yes, but it's working. I'm still reading the code and calling out specific issues to Claude, but it's less and less.

You're reading it though, and I imagine you are applying comprehension to it based on your experience. It's not vibe-coding any more at that point, I'd call it rapid application development. That's what Rails did in, what, 2010? Maybe earlier? Except it was generated scaffolding code created through reflection and not machine learning.

It's when you take yourself out of the loop and trust the process that it goes in the wrong direction.
