alt Hacker NewsSeems equally valid to come out of this with the takeaway that code quality _does_ matter, because poor coding practices are what led to the leak.
Sure, the weights are where the real value lives, but if the quality is so lax they leak their whole codebase, maybe they are just lucky they didn’t leak customer data or the model weights? If that did happen, the entire business might evaporate overnight.

I look at other people's code a lot. The security issues are always boring, that's the thing. API keys sitting in the client bundle, auth middleware missing half the routes. Not clever exploits, just nobody actually reading what the AI spit out.
Actually wait, it's worse than that. The product works, demo looks great. Then someone opens the network tab and ... yeah. "Quality doesn't matter" really just means nothing caught fire yet.
