Someone at work vibe-coded an attempt to collate data so he could use plain language queries to get information about company products and orders. He wanted to make his job easier and himself more efficient. The problem is that he's not at all trained in computer science. He nearly took down our ticketing system because the script was logging in every few seconds, and he was feeding company/customer data to commercial LLMs. He also never told us in IT about any of this. 1/2

@alexhall@mastodon.social This is why I don't trust vibe-coded programs that have security implications, at least not when made by someone without the knowledge to know what to check for and how to manually fix code. I'm fine with AI-assisted coding, but full-on vibe coding is a hard no for me. A handy utility? If it's useful enough, I'll use it, as long as it doesn't touch private data or talk to external services. Mail, password management, and similar programs are ones I won't trust.

@alexhall@mastodon.social That should be a firing offence.
