As a security professional who makes most of my money from helping companies recover from vibe coded tragedies this puts Looney Toons style dollar signs in my eyes.

Please continue.

Since the entire concept of Vibe Coding existed for a grand total of 5 months, how do companies reach the level of saturation with vibe coding, that it's not only prevalent, but makes sense to specialize in helping them recover from it?

My guess is tons of small/medium sized companies were enamored with the speed and ease of use that LLMs promised and very quickly found solutions that “just worked”.

Also we don’t really specialize in it since that’s not something you would really do. It’s just that the usual vulnerabilities are more common AND compounded.
