Vibe coding. Vibe marketing. Vibe everything.

It’s not just a fad, it’s a transformation. We’re talking about a 100x boost in individual capability, but here’s the kicker: subject matter expertise still matters. This article about Lovable, on of the hottest new vibe coding startup, makes that crystal clear.

In development, simple mistakes like where you store your API keys or how you filter input can make or break your security. It’s common sense to most developers that these steps are essential to writing secure code, but at least today, tools like Lovable or Windsurf gloss over this, leaving a production code base open to attack.

I’ve noticed the same thing when working with other AI tools or writing prompts, you have to be explicit about writing code securely. The vibe can be great and scale human potential by 100x, but until we build in the guardrails, subject matter knowledge will be ireplacable.

The hottest new vibe coding startup may be a sitting duck for hackers

Lovable is accused of failing to fix security flaws that exposed information about users, a growing vulnerability as vibe coding’s popularity surges.
