Introduction
Written by the author, AI-editedAI-generated, author-verified How this module was made
It can feel done, by the time AI finishes generating a feature. It compiles, it runs, the preview looks right — so why not ship it?
The reality is, “does it work?” and “is it ready?” are different questions, and only the first one gets checked by running the app. This lesson is more about answering the second question and how to review AI-generated code the way you would review a teammate’s pull request — carefully, systematically, and without assuming the output is good just because it works.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the difference between vibe coding and AI-augmented development.
- Apply a seven-category review checklist to real Swift/ SwiftUI code.
- Recognize the kinds of issues AI-generated code tends to produce, even when nothing crashes.
You, the human will do all of this yourself first, with no AI assistance in the review itself. The next lesson then asks AI to review the same app again. This code review by human and AI only means something if you’ve formed your own judgment first.
