A Gopher's Guide to Vibe Coding
summary
A practical report on adopting vibe coding: builds a working MCP hello‑world server and a tool that runs go doc (it calls the go command) using Gemini CLI and the Jules agent, with PRs generated in about three minutes and tests passing in-session. Claims: vibe coding multiplies velocity but is non‑deterministic and can loop endlessly (token cost risk). Workflow: TDD‑style get to green, run an independent AI code review (it flags omitted errors and unreachable code), then refactor and commit. Maintenance and prompt/context engineering are decisive.
