That would be insane. Even if you trust the code for the business functionality, you have to do a security review to launch anything in this day and age. Trusting AI to properly secure an app is, to me, straight up negligence.

So based on the comments, I'm the only person who think our jobs will be diving into years-old LLM-generated code to fix it all, and laughing: "Oh my, do you all remember when the entire industry burned 5 years and b/trillion

It is absolutely insane that this article dismisses all the security problems with a simple: "spend an afternoon on it, all will be well."

That is a pile of false premises. You don't bill for ideas, you bill for implementation. you don't re-use old project work on a new client without their permission and negotiating the cost - doing so opens up all kinds of legal ri

Oh no. Someone gave an AI access to delete all the files on their system and then an AI deleted all the files on their system. And then that same person basically said, "I'll try a different model." Lesson clearly not learn

I'm not sure "SaaSpocalypse" is anything more than hyperbole, but there is a grain of truth behind the thought - What I'm seeing is not companies saying "We should re-write this product we use" as much as it is

You could clone easily before AI. When learning a language, "Build a twitter clone" is a tutorial project. That doesn't give you the business. It give you no users, no market, no branding. You don't have the operations s

Using your personal laptop for work is unheard of for anything other than a startup that is still a couple dudes in their basement. (Where you are one of the original dudes) Run away.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "nobody". Electric Boat had 2 GB memory in one of its systems at that time, with the hardware capacity to increase to 4 GB. It sounded insane at the time, but it absolutely existed, and thereby

Yes, that clarifies things - the term you are looking for is "spyware". I cannot think of many legit reasons to want to build this. If you want to know what devs are working on, look at what they commit into source control.

Yeah, crap like this is why we always have a fallback of simply rate limiting any IP who hits the servers too hard. Because this is not a game worth playing. Bad actors will always think of clever ways to hide their bad acting. At a certain
