Ask HN: How do you handle non-technical people dumping vibecoded changes on you?

4•ex-aws-dude•58m ago
I've started to notice a trend at work recently where non-technical people will vibe-code a feature on their own with Claude Code, then come to you and say "hey can you review this and help me get it submitted"

Would you go along with that or push back?

On the one hand its useful in that they can much more clearly express what they want from the feature since they have prototyped it in the real product. More clear than a document.

But on the other hand it feels like a slippery slope. It would suck to have your job as SE devolve into fixing other people's vibe-coded crap.

Give them time, resource requirement and budget to get it done right. eg: I need 16 ppl, 2 mil and snacks for my cat. What non tech people bring to the table is extra resources. If they whip up whats required then who cares if prototype was vibe coded or drawn with crayons.

I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage at home
