"The correct answer: not currently vulnerable, but the code is fragile and one refactor away from being exploitable."

absolutely. I see this pattern all the time when doing security audits - code that is nearly-vulnerable. I would mark these things as informational and recommend to harden them anyway, and any model would do a good job to do the same.

What are some vibecoding horror stories?

how much does AI cost?

if you ask AI inference platforms, this is what they tell you:

"$0.0001285 per token per pixel per second per tuesday for 5 runs"

that's why I built this price table with actual human-readable costs

this is interesting. how does the semantic segmentation work? do you generate 3d models and then separate them? or are the separated from the initial generation?

I think since your target is blender it is better as a blender add on, so I can generate directly into my scene. then you can publish it on blender marketplaces.

more code => more bugs, so talking in absolute numbers is meaningless

show me percentages

I'm building an ai fitness coach - using pose estimation from camera capture.

still early stage but you can already play with it, works on desktop and mobile:

another example just from today:

I merely selected entire json file, two word prompt: "generate schema"

one-shotted 600 lines json schema, unsolicited 200 lines typescript schema, 150 lines python dataclass model and a README!!! completely unsolicited!

was working with mediapipe BlazePose, which gives 33 pose points in world space, but wanted "the pose to always point forward" (virtually this prompt exactly)

it one-shotted 600 lines of code which did the job perfectly. it understood from context the center of body, how to calculate the body normal, to rotate each point around that, all while handling edge cases to avoid errors. would've takens me hours if not days to tweak it manually to work.
