Mainly working on a dev tool / SaaS app right now. The PII is user names & email.
On the security layer, I wrote that code mostly by hand, with some 'pair programming' with Claude to get the Oauth handling working.
When I have the agent working on tasks independently, it's usually working on feature-specific business logic in the API and frontend. For that work it has a lot of standard helper functions to read/write data for the current authenticated user. With that scaffolding it's harder (not impossible) for the bot to mess up.
It's definitely a concern though, I've been brainstorming some creative ways to add extra tests and more auditing to look out for security issues. Overall I think the key for extremely fast development is to have an extremely good testing strategy.
- samtp 1y agoI appreciate the helpful reply, honestly. One other question - are people currently using the app? I think where I've become very hesitant is a lot of the programs that I touch has customer data belonging to clients with pretty hard-nosed legal teams. So it's quite difficult for me to imagine not reviewing the production code by hand.
- paulhodge 1y agoNo this app isn't launched yet. And yeah, customer data is definitely a very valid thing to be concerned about.
