Regarding the AI shit, have my 2 cents.
If you don't know what you are doing, don't write networked software in a native programming language without help or the correct tools and research first. You
will miss bugs and those bugs
will hurt people. You are not ready for that kind of responsibility unless you have a
manual debugger you're comfortable with, a UB sanitizer, and some hardware-level common sense. Alternatively, any code you write that interacts with untrustworthy sources should be put in a sandbox, which would reduce the attack surface and thus the inputs needing to be sanitized.
Having said that, I really don't care if AI was used, as long as it was used in moderation by people who already have engineering experience and were comfortable developing without it. I have serious doubts that a Bullshit Generator is capable of pulling off something like this with minimal expert input anyhow. I'm not paying for it either.
An RCE being able to cause major damage in the year 2026 honestly should not even be up for consideration if our OS permissions models weren't stuck in the Unix mainframe era. All those MMUs and filesystem flags don't mean shit if you don't sandbox anything. This isn't a problem on cell phones. Collectively, developers need to find a frictionless way to solve this, otherwise cases like this will just continue to be a problem. Maybe normalizing not having tons of web passwords saved in plaintext is a good start.
I want to believe your comment was sarcastic, otherwise you have serious problems, dude!
This is a forum meant for human work, not AI Slop. If you can't code then just say that. No one deserves praise for typing in prompts. Gtfo
And I have a pretty good hunch that the loaded anti-AI seething from you two is fueled not by engineering concerns, but by dogma.
Yes, there IS a grey area. There IS a difference between AI assistance and reckless automation. Doesn't take a fucking genius to see that.
