We're more likely to get a similar incident like this very quickly if we continue with the cult of 'vibe-coding' and throwing away basic software engineering principles out of the window as I said before. [0]

Take this post-mortem here [1] as a great warning and which also highlights exactly what could go horribly wrong if the LLM misreads comments.

What's even more scarier is each time I stumble across a freshly minted project on GitHub with a considerable amount of attention, not only it is 99% vibe-coded (very easy to detect) but it completely lacks any tests written for it.

Makes me question the ability of the user prompting the code in the first place if they even understand how to write robust and battle-tested software.

The idea of 'vibe-coding' safety critical software is beyond terrifying. Timing and safety critical software is hard enough to talk about intelligently, even harder to code, harder yet to audit, and damn near impossible to debug, and all that's without neophyte code monkeys introducing massive black boxes full of poorly understood voodoo to the process.
