Unfortunately staff engineers at my company will demand annoying comments like this so I don't think it's necessarily a sign of vibe coding

I get worse. I write a test

    TEST(SubSystemABCTest,CheckIfAIsNegativeItThrows)
    {
      ....
    }
And I get told all tests need a comment so I copy that line and add spaces between the words. WTF! >:(

I’ve run into this as well, it’s so obnoxious. Now I just go into multiple cursors mode and type the same exact stuff multiple times haha.

One would hope that the principal engineers above them have more sense…
