The Story
You’ve been building your trip planner. In the last lesson, you learned to direct Claude Code like a builder, describing what you want, watching it work, asking for changes. It’s going well. You’re feeling confident.
Then you make a change. Maybe you ask for a new section. Maybe you rearrange how the page looks. Maybe Claude Code edits one line that you couldn’t read and wouldn’t understand even if you tried.
And the app breaks. Completely. White screen. Nothing works.
You stare at the screen. You can’t read the code, so you have no idea what changed. You definitely don’t remember what it looked like five minutes ago. And here’s the part that really gets you: you have no way to get back. The version that worked is just… gone.
This is the fear that sits underneath everything for a vibe coder. What if I break it and can’t undo it? What if I can’t even see what went wrong, because I can’t read the code? If you can’t read what Claude Code wrote, how are you supposed to trust any of it?
