I've got a question! I'd say what's happening with viebcoding is really an acceleration of move fast and break things. Uber and Snapchat both had major security vulnerabilities, resulting in millions of user records leaked, in their hey day of the mid 2010s. And that was WITH whatever DevOps pipeline, code review or other best practices likely in place.

What's unique about Tea or Base44 (or Replit founder deleting his codebase) is A) the disregard for security best practices and B) the speed at which they both grew and exposed vulnerabilities.

So my question is, how do you see the balance of cybersecurity and AI as everything moves faster than ever before?

I see companies deploy and trust AI without really investing into security, it will be very easy in the near future to find simple, devastating bugs : )
