0. Premise

Vibe-coded, not vibe-validated.

This site uses AI as an execution amplifier, not as a substitute for engineering judgment. The point is not to hide AI usage, and it is not to apologize for it either. The accountable author still owns the premise, the constraints, the experiments, the review, and the conclusion.

1. Human-Owned Work

The following stay human-owned:

project choice
premise
constraints
prompts worth trying
experiment design
acceptance criteria
validation
corrections
conclusion

If a benchmark claim appears on this site, I am responsible for whether the measurement was worth running, whether the interpretation is honest, and whether the limitations are stated clearly enough.

2. AI-Assisted Work

AI is useful here for:

prose expansion
scaffolding
refactors
implementation acceleration
diagrams
editing

That makes the loop faster, but it does not transfer authorship of the underlying idea or the responsibility for checking the result.

3. What Validation Means Here

Validation means the output is checked against something real:

code that builds
behavior that runs
benchmarks with explicit setup
constraints that are still satisfied
mistakes that are corrected instead of hand-waved

The site should be judged on that proof, not on whether the typing was done by hand from a blank screen.

4. Reusable Disclosure

Use this disclosure when a short version is needed:

This is a vibe-coded blog. AI assists with prose, code scaffolding, diagrams, refactors, and editing. The project choices, premises, constraints, prompts, experiments, acceptance criteria, review, corrections, and conclusions are mine. I am the accountable author.

5. Limits

AI can accelerate writing and implementation, but it can also make weak claims look polished. That is exactly why the burden stays on validation, explicit limits, and links to inspectable work.
