The above is saying more precise not completely precise. The overall point they're making is you still are responsible for the code you commit.

If they are saying the code in this project was in line with what they would have written, I lean towards trusting their assessment.



I am not doubting 95% acceptance rate all. I've pure vibecoded many toy projects myself.

> in line with what they would have written,

point i am making is that they didn't know what they would've written. they had a rough overall idea but details were being accepted on the fly. They were trying out bunch of things and see what looks good based on a rough idea of what output should be.

In a real world project you are not both product owner and coder.


To be clear I did not have a 95% acceptance rate. I'm saying that in the final published repo, 95% of the lines of code were written by AI, not by me. I discarded and refactored code along the way many times, but I did that by also using the AI. My end goal was to keep my hands off the code as much as possible and get better at describing exactly what I wanted from the AI.
