Given that experts had already warned of the dangers and it happened, its tragic that the slop apps are still a thing. Like, there is a reason why programming is a profession, its complex and has a lot of moving parts. LLM slop is never going to approach the art, skill, or reasonable security that a sane programmer can.
You know what helps? After you’ve coded something that works - whether “vibe coding” or the old fashioned way, review it for security issues. “Vibe code reviews” performed by the same LLM tools that do “vibe coding” can be even more effective at finding issues than traditional methods.
But, just like real people, if you don’t bother to care about security, you’ll have holes.

Governments around the world are commissioning studies to look into the massive increase in air disasters that began around the time people without any flight training were allowed to be pilots.
Vibe coded apps? Let’s stop calling that. Call it with correct name: AI slop nonsense
That is what vibe coded means.
Vibe coding is a type of AI slop
gasps clutches pearls how could this happen??
But I told Claude to make no mistakes and ensure that it’s secure!
Gosh darn it these machines!
People who don’t understand production ship to production
Proper testing and vetting by experts is still required, but of course we all know that, right?
And yet, the push continues. I keep hearing all this hype about AI agents that are going to do all my menial tasks for me, but they’re quite dishonest, because of none of these pitches mention that the AI agent will almost certainly fuck a lot of it up and create more unnecessary work for me.
The billionaires who are pushing AI technology are willing to take the risk that their AI will fuck things up for a lot of people.
What a surprise. Who could have guessed that. (monotone voice)
