New Vibe Coder "Bob" - Safety & Security Input Needed

  • 1.  New Vibe Coder "Bob" - Safety & Security Input Needed

    Posted Mon November 17, 2025 10:58 AM

    Hey team,

    We've brought Bob (our new vibe coder) on board to help accelerate development. Before we fully integrate Bob into our workflow, I want to get everyone's input on safety and security.

    Recent data shows that nearly 50% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities, so we need to be thoughtful about this.


    What I Need From You

    Share your thoughts on:

    1. Security concerns - What risks worry you most about AI-generated code?
    2. What should Bob NOT do - Are there areas (auth, payments, core infrastructure) where Bob shouldn't touch?
    3. Safety measures - What checks should be mandatory before Bob's code goes to production?
    4. Code review process - How thoroughly should we review Bob's output?
    5. Your experience - Have you used similar tools? What worked or failed?

    My Initial Concerns

    • Hardcoded secrets/API keys making it into our codebase
    • Security vulnerabilities in customer-facing code
    • Technical debt from poorly architected AI solutions
    • Junior devs accepting code they don't understand

    Drop your thoughts below. All perspectives welcome-whether you're excited, concerned, or somewhere in between.
