  • Vibecoders who have never coded before often put themselves in much more danger than they realize.
    • I know a number of tech-savvy non-engineering types who proudly show me the complex thing they vibecoded.
    • They often don't realize that they've, for example, left API keys publicly accessible.
    • The same origin paradigm means that software is inherently dangerous!
    • The same origin paradigm requires users to trust that the creator of the software isn't naive or malicious about its own data.
    • That's not a good assumption for people vibecoding little apps that operate over sensitive data.
      • Every non-toy vibecoded mini app that's useful almost by definition maintains sensitive state.
