AI didn’t start the trend but it has pushed that change to an extreme. A user who has no concept of security can sling up a nice, polished-looking application and publish it to the web. That was always “possible” but the bar needed to get to the point of publishing was higher, so the chances of pushing insecure code was lower.
The number of “developers” who literally don’t know how their application works is staggering. I have seen people literally say “I don’t know how it works” of their own project, and that should be terrifying for published code.
Again, for small diy things it’s whatever. But as a project released into the wild it is, at least currently, irresponsible.

No, that’s quite different. PHP is a language, any language can be made secure so long as it isn’t running client side.
This is like saying PHP and a script kiddy are equivalent.

If I’m degrading due to dementia or similar, hand me the cocktail in a lucid moment, hug me tight, say your goodbyes and then get the fuck out.

Eeeeh. I disagree. Disclosure: I’m a developer.
Can AI write code? Yes. In fact I’ll sometimes give it obtuse code I wrote and ask if there’s a way to simplify it, then use that as a jumping board on where I might want to head.
You know what else it does? Not understand context, or situations it hasn’t been made explicitly aware of.
I’ve given it plenty of things that it spit back just plainly incorrect or fundamentally altered code. Sometimes it’s just ignoring best security practices, sometimes it’s trying to use a string as an int, sometimes it just makes up “standard” functions that don’t actually exist because someone one said “wouldn’t it be nice is int.ThisFunctionName existed and did specific thing?”
Anyone shitting on AI for spitting out code is missing the point. Vibe coding is fine for personal projects that never get released to the world, but the moment you’re trying to build a business on top, or want to release it? Vibe coding is downright dangerous. There have been a number of vibe coded websites that were just sitting open for anyone to look at the personal information, because no one who knew what they were doing was involved.

People are assholes.
I mean, there’s a whole boatload more to it, but the most shallow answer is: people are assholes.

Not to be that guy, but you’re making a huge jump that just doesn’t make sense. You’re presupposing the only way we could ever study pedophilia is to allow them to have sex with children, which is absolutely bonkers.
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 5 weeks ago:
I don’t recall anything sexual happening with any minors, dragon or otherwise. In fact I don’t even recall anything sexual happening… in general, other than the obvious undertones between the two mains. Though I suppose I may have skipped over a fan service episode and not remember.

How exactly does that work? Unless your state/province has a digital ID, you need to carry at least that around. Then you gotta keep some cash for the odd place that doesn’t do credit because they’re in the Stone Age. I also keep a card for those places that don’t do tap, because of course they exist.

Check the bundles first, that 90% off may drop it to a whopping $1.87 if you own the other games.

Constants are known at compile time, and therefore are more performant as they don’t need to be reasoned about at runtime.
These days it’s not much of a performance boost but never a bad idea to use constants where appropriate.

You’d also need to send along an iPhone and android phone, as well as make sure they have appropriate apps installed (tile for instance) and they never die.
