Would love to see this more widespread.

Would love to see more devs tanking their reputations with this.
ISTM this developer did people a favor: He’s shown a real-world vulnerability pattern in a way that didn’t do real harm.

Odds are he’s not the first to think of this, he absolutely won’t be the last. If your agents, CI/CD pipeline, or whatever are vulnerable to this, it’s time to fix that now before something truly nasty comes down the pike.

haha it's funny how corporatism has taken over

"talented" devs are desperate to look like good AI boys and girls

punk rock mentality is dangerous. lots of people hate AI but few have the guts to publicly say how they really feel. their CEOs are watching.

Actually as GenX it is kind of interesting to see the newer generations going Punk again, even if in a different way.
need more Zed Shaws in the next generational intake.
You just tanked your reputation in my eyes.

Do you care if that was the case? No, and that translates to TFA.

agreed. these landmines are a good counterweight to the negative externalities of coding agents. they will force the agentic coders to mature and be less careless with their slop.

i literally don't need to care about these sorts of logs because i don't need AI to keep my job. i just sit in my plain text editor and do a good job. i wonder if i can exchange my unused tokens for cash..seems fair
