I've been vibe coding with Grok Bot for two months now. 5 things I learned... 1. Make it a gate, not a reminder. My app has 32 tests, and nothing merges until they all pass. 2. No auto-merge. Bots open the PR, and I make the call. 3. Give each bot one job. One builds, one checks. 4. Break it on purpose, then fix it. If a test doesn't catch the break, the test isn't doing its job. 5. Test it like a real user. Tap every button on your phone before you call it done.
