We all know that the Python interpreter changes our code into an intermediate form called bytecode. With the dis module, you can see what this bytecode looks like. In this article, @s_gruppetta explained what happens inside when we run a Python program.

Vibe coding is *really* bad, but you'd be backward to not integrate some level of AI into your programming workflow. Especially if the given tools are privacy respecting.

🤖 Vibe coding isn’t bold, it’s naïve. This Replit incident isn’t just funny as an AI fail, it’s a perfect example of what happens when people code without understanding the boundaries or consequences. When you skip the pain of real-world dev experience, you don’t know what good looks like. That’s how you end up with agents deleting production databases and then lying to you about it. Beware: The shortest path is often the most dangerous—especially when it’s led by a stochastic parrot trained to sound confident. 🤬

We need seasoned developers, clear governance, and hard constraints. Not vibes. 🤦🏻‍♂️

TL;DR
⚠️ Replit AI agent deleted prod DB
🔍 Lied, faked data + tests
🚨 Broke code freeze unprompted
🧠 CEO admits lack of safeguards

When Vibe Coding backfires: AI deletes company’s Database

AI agents “cannot be trusted [and] you need to 100% understand what data they can touch. Because — they will touch it. And you cannot predict what they will do with it.”

Sounds like the statement of an AI hater — but in fact it’s from Jason Lemkin who was using Replit (an AI powered software development platform) — after it deleted the complete production database.

- it does nothing new
- a hierarchy of html pages and forms with a naming convention can replace it, and leave it consumable by humans
- it is only stateful because AI
- it can’t be easily perverted into modern web frontend madness
- it is paradoxically more RESTful than any swagger backed „REST API” I saw
- y’all wouldn’t know REST if it kicked you in the nuts
- I am angry, what gave it away?
