If you're technical, spec kit helps with this a lot.
You define the spec, and declare everything important about how it needs to work.
Then let the ai loose on developing the code. Then I have another ai check for accuracy to the spec, and have it walk me through the code at a high level.
I understand it about as well as I do most projects where there is a team working on something.
Works great if you are already a competent coder. If I was new to coding though, I don't think I would be learning a ton
I don't disagree. That's why I feel for new developers. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I have some stuff still to learn, but not all that much on a vibe coded saas app.
If I had to learn like this when I was new though, I probably would have never learned anything
