I mean maybe these juniors are geniuses, but I often find it very non-obvious why LLM-generated code it wrong and it requires me to have an even deeper knowledge. Sometimes the code is correct, but overly complicated.
One small example was a coworker that generated random numbers with AI using `dd count=30 if=/dev/urandom | tr -c "[a-z][A-Z]" | base64 | head -c20` instead of just `head -c20 /dev/urandom | base64`. I didn't actually know `dd` beyond that it's used for writing to usb-sticks, but I suddenly became really unsure if I was missing something and needing to double check the documentation. All that to say that I think if you vibe-code, you really need to know what you're generating and to keep in mind that other will need to be able to read and understand what you've written.
