Any bets on how long it'll take for a security breach, now that every attacker knows affirm is vibe coding 60% of PRs?

I feel like these top down mandates miss the forest through the trees -- in isolation claude code is a speedup, like how sometimes WD40 is the right tool for the job. But when applying it to everything, you end up with a sticky mess.

The funny part is that I never heard a professional tell me I should use WD40 for a specific task. It's been developed for (W)ater (D)isplacement, it's really good for that; and it's passable at other tasks too. For DIYers, it's fine.

For professional use-cases, targeted products are preferred, whether they be lubricants, penetrating oils, rust remover, etc.
