#323: Vibe coding - the practice of giving AI a high-level description and letting it build applications unsupervised - has become increasingly popular among non-developers looking to quickly prototype ideas. While this approach excels at rapid prototyping and getting small, focused applications running, it creates significant security risks when deployed to production without proper oversight. The fundamental issue isn't with AI capabilities, but with treating any tool - whether AI or human - as capable of understanding company context, security requirements, and production standards on day one.
The real value emerges when vibe coding serves as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation. Rather than replacing traditional development workflows, it can accelerate the initial phases by providing working prototypes that stakeholders can interact with before formal development begins. However, moving from prototype to production requires the same rigorous processes that any new technology integration demands: security scanning, code review, compliance with company policies, and proper authentication handling.
In this episode, Darin and Viktor explore the security implications of unsupervised AI development, discussing when vibe coding makes sense, where it falls short, and how organizations might eventually integrate AI-assisted development into their existing workflows while maintaining security and operational standards.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
