permanent tangent

So vibe coding has made it possible for anyone to code anything, or has it?

I've just used an AI to code something, a simple copy and sync across 3 pcs. I could have coded it myself, but realised that the time to code it would take way more if I did. But by doing so I haven't learnt anything. And that is a big problem. I can read and understand the code that was created, but for someone that doesn't know how to do that will be unable to do so. That is a major red flag.

If you can't understand all the steps of your code how can you tell if it isn't a security risk? How can you tell if it is sending data to some third party? How can you tell if it is so badly done that it could wipe data? Or so badly coded that it uses more resources than it should? Short answer, you don't know.

Feel free to use it for your own projects but please please don't release it for others to use.
