Remember what you vibe?

Hello,

I recently started vibe coding and yes the output is fast but I feel personally the long term memory for knowing your project is declining.

When I did commit and pullrequests I read the code and understand what it did and if it required any changes, but in long term I needed to go back again to remember the details.

Writing my code myself it was much easier to remember the details. So how did I solve it?

What I did, first make sure the agent follow the SOLID principle and KISS as much as possible, iterate over the code and extract all methods as much as possible (A lesson from Uncle Bob). Then I writes unit test myself, this make me remember the code much better when doing vibe coding.

I am curious on how you solved it. Any Ideas?
