There’s a passive and active role you can play I think. There’s a tendency to pull the lever, try for another spin. Gambling for a working implementation without meaningful thought or input But that’s just an easy pattern to fall into, not the only one

If you’ve tried /goal mode you might know what I’m talking about. This is the mouse-wiggling loop that simply tells the agent to keep going. That’s the role *you* play when you’re treating Vibecoding like a passive activity

Playing an active role is different. That’s reading docs, inspecting the code, maybe starting a side chat for research. In this role, you add your own discernment (I think that’s the accurate term)

And if you’ve compared the results (and sheer wallclock time + token usage) between /goal style loops and your own active participation, you already know that you add immense value with your active, attentive discernment
