Do you care about the messenger or the message?

I use AI to communicate because I have dyslexia and ADHD. It helps me articulate technical concepts clearly. The irony isn't lost on me - I built a tool to audit AI-generated code, using AI, because I can't code, and now I'm using AI to explain it.

If that offends you more than 204 SQL injections in production code, we have different priorities.

This is the stuff of nightmares. You have vibe-coded 50k lines of Python over 250 hours, but you can't articulate what it does or how it does it without having the same AI read the code back and describe it to you? Like your LLM said, it IS turtles all the way down! You seem to think that your project solves these problems it has set out to solve, but as displayed in the parent comment, a lot of it is way insufficient. Are you blindly trusting the LLM Yes Man?

Yes, i cant code but i can build systems, more news at eleven... That's why I built this.

The 204 SQL injections it found in production? Those were real. Those are produced by industry standard tools....

The nightmare isn't that I used AI to build a security tool. The nightmare is that your production code was probably written the same way.

At least I'm checking mine.

What offends me is a "security scanner" for "ground truth" using fake checksums to verify integrity of its dependencies ;-)

Yeh, i dont dont use nix so when asked to follow the link? It didnt work as it should. And because i dont use nix? Hard to catch it until my friend did...

That said? Did you the hash fail? Yes it did, security working as intended... Anything more to add? :)
