202 sats \ 3 replies \ @cy 12h \ on: My first vibe coded app using AI AI
Pretty cool, however a heads up, AI doesn't keep app security in mind. It's cool for making games and small apps you'd use, but I'd steer away from production grade apps, i.e. using stuff like cursor or windsurf for building a SaaS. Good luck with your endeavours!

Actually that is something I would like to know, which software would be best for a beginner, where the tradeoff is; I don't want a fully professional and expensive service that I don't understand versus the most unsecure

yeah it's a costly tradeoff, AI apps are known to be insecure on a large scale. People who have no idea how secure applications work end up sharing their api keys and other secrets on the client side, etc. I'd suggest you learn basics of web dev and then use AI since this can speed up your dev process and since you understand what's happening it won't be as risky.
Personally, I used to use AI a lot so much so that I couldn't write basic scripts without it. So I made an active decision to stop it lol, cogsec is important in the age of AI.

I hear you, I doubt I'll get that deep into it, my only irl correlation is when SatNavs first appeared and luckily I already knew how to navigate my country with a mental road map, because I'd used paper maps for years.
And then I saw the next generation relying solely on TomTom's etc and getting into absolutely hilarious situations and sometimes downright deadly!
Whereas I was able to use SatNav's as an additional aid, to help speed up my commutes.
Similar to what you're saying I guess.
