Verification Loops: Make It Prove Itself
Part of the Vibe Coding: Advanced Engineering course
A model will tell you its code is correct. It is not lying and it is not right; it has no way to know. Correctness is something that gets established by running code against a definition of correct, and the interesting question for a senior engineer is how to write that definition so it catches the failures generated code actually has.
Ask a model for a function and its tests, and you get tests for the cases the implementation already handles. This is not malice, it is the same generative process producing both artifacts from the same understanding. The tests inherit the implementation's blind spots exactly. ...
