A security project vibe coded by someone who admittedly does not have a security or even software engineering background, what could go wrong!

You're absolutely right to be skeptical! You do ignore that vibe coding isnt going away...

That's exactly why I built TheAuditor - because I DON'T trust the code I had AI write. When you can't verify code yourself, you need something that reports ground truth.

The beautiful irony: I used AI to build a tool that finds vulnerabilities in AI-generated code. It already found 204 SQL injections in one user's production betting site - all from following AI suggestions.

If someone with no coding ability can use AI + TheAuditor to build TheAuditor itself (and have it actually work), that validates the entire premise: AI can write code, but you NEED automated verification.

What could go wrong? Without tools like this, everything. That's the point.

I mean, heroin isn't going away either; that's not a particularly convincing reason for me, personally, to take it, though.
