Always nice to see Starflyer 59 get some love, and @treblezine.bsky.social perfectly highlights what made 1995’s “Gold” such a Chrindie standout, esp. for those of us who possess(ed) a mopier disposition.

Watching the vibe coding community repeat the mistakes of self bondage from first principles
Do not vibe code yourself a security-related app. I repeat: Do not vibe code security apps.
Yesterday I saw someone discussing vibe coding a replacement for their password manager. I can see the appeal, but there are half a dozen things that could easily go catastrophically wrong. Don't do it.

For anyone having to deal with vibed code in a professional environment (and the control or lack of within):
Do you see any value in checking in the prompts/conversations that led to code patches alongside the patches, just to keep the change context with the change?
