Start with a narrow surface
The best agent-assisted work starts with one clear user flow. Define the inputs, outputs, failure states, and owner before asking an agent to generate code.
Small surfaces make review faster and reduce the chance that an agent changes unrelated behavior.
Review behavior, not just syntax
A green build is not the finish line. Check loading states, empty states, mobile layout, form behavior, copy accuracy, accessibility, and whether the feature still matches the business promise.
The senior loop is steering, testing, and simplifying.
FAQ
Is vibe coding only for prototypes?
No. With tight scope, review, and tests, agent-assisted coding can ship production features.
