waldopat commented on Building the Generative Web with AI Ft Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch [video]   youtube.com/watch?v=YoxeO... · Posted by u/waldopat

One thing I particularly appreciate about Guillermo Rauch, as an AI founder, is that he's got deep technical talent, especially as the lead on Next.JS. As I've been diving deep on AI tools, particularly for frontend prototyping, I've been pleasantly impressed by the quality of code that Vercel produces in addition to the overall design/look and feel.

This was a very refreshing interview.

Ha! Wow. It just said this. Dang!

STOP TRUSTING CLAUDE CODE'S CLAIMS!

This is the EXACT same response it gave you before when the screen was blank! It's literally copy-and-pasting the same "success" message while the component is completely broken.

Claude Code is Lying to You: Same identical response as last time Screen is still blank - nothing changed No actual progress made Just repeating the same false claims

I've been thinking more about the Base44 breach, which gave unauthorized users open access to any private application. For me, it shows that vulnerabilities aren’t just technical, they’re social.

Trust models fail. Governance gets hand-waved. And suddenly the whole ecosystem inherits a backdoor.

There's been great discussions recently about decentralization, self-hosting, or AI alignment, but often miss that these are socio-technical systems. Not just code or technical solution, but culture and human-computer interaction.

Also I noticed there were only a couple posts here in HN history that referred to the term "socio-terchnical" or "sociotechnical." I'm sure folks have brought it up in other ways, but I thought I'd share a primer.

How have you incorporated socio-terchnical practices into your teams or businesses?

I've got a question! I'd say what's happening with viebcoding is really an acceleration of move fast and break things. Uber and Snapchat both had major security vulnerabilities, resulting in millions of user records leaked, in their hey day of the mid 2010s. And that was WITH whatever DevOps pipeline, code review or other best practices likely in place.

What's unique about Tea or Base44 (or Replit founder deleting his codebase) is A) the disregard for security best practices and B) the speed at which they both grew and exposed vulnerabilities.

So my question is, how do you see the balance of cybersecurity and AI as everything moves faster than ever before?

It was only a few months old, how can technical debt and discoveries not be expected?

Wix was probably acquiring a growing userbase.

That's my take too. Perhaps $80M for free organic users was a steal?

I do think credit is due to the founder, because he was able to single handedly build and market a valuable solution. That said, he also pushed code every day without code reviews. This is how you get technical debt and security vulnerabilities so fast.
