Man, my friend said he made a web app. He asked me if it would be secure to deploy. I check the front end and immediately check if his formatting was readable.

Two javascript blocks embedded: one was beautified, normal, tabbed out.

The other block was debeautified, which JS developers do so people can’t steal their code (as if that works these days).

I said, “You didn’t make this.”

“Yeah I did!”

“You used AI.”

“But I wrote the prompts!”

"To prompt a computer to steal two separate snippets of javascript from actual developers to achieve the goal.

"Man, this is fine for prototyping, just to demo an idea. But I wouldn’t release this to the public, because if I saw that, I am going to use the tools I already have, and my LLM to speed up the actions, and I will show you how hackable the app actually is.

“You didn’t make a steak. You ordered a steak and got a McRib with carrots.”

He responds, “Does it look ok?”

“Yeah, we can use the css, and we can adjust that as needed, but if your frontend is this sloppy, I wouldn’t release the backend and take customer data. Hell no.”

You can spoof your phone number. That’s what spam callers do.

On iOS I use Voyager, but it is buggy as fuck.

Yeah, I was about to say: meetup is pretty much dead. I live in an area of 350k people, and I think there is one for hiking and one for atheism (which makes no sense to me, like, at all. What are you going to do? Talk about what you don’t believe in?)
