Unfortunately, no, not when you are dealing with user data. You don't own that and you don't deserve to be reckless with it just because you're paying for the hardware and bandwidth.

This is why we need licensing for software developers:
When you're building a service that has actual users, with actual data, and tangible consequences when it fails, "take your hands off the wheel, have fun" is fundamentally dangerous.
Or, to put it differently: It's totally fine for some kids to build a treehouse. They might even get hurt. But, when it comes to dams and bridges, there is a reason why the people who design those need to get a license.
that’s clearly not the danger. make a dumb thing that takes user input (including PII or maybe other protected data), then put it online and charge people to use it without vetting it for security? No, let’s not encourage that.
I like how every reply to you is the same, nuance doesn't exist, and we're all working on missile guidance systems and pacemaker firmware.
There's such a wide range of software. There's plenty of space for an amateur to do some creative vibe coding. What's the point of the scolding and hand wringing?
Given the fact that the post mentions an actual company with actual users that was seemingly vibe coded, I don't think anyone pointing out that this is reckless is conflating anything here. It seems like some are better than others at reading from context though, clearly.
