AI-Developed Code: Bloody Hell, Humans Still Have to Save the Day

So here we go again — some bright-eyed tech wizards think AI can fart out perfect code while sipping lattes and humming the hymn of automation. But surprise, you gullible bastards, the machines are still churning out insecure garbage faster than an intern on a caffeine bender. The article hammers home five so-called “critical security checkpoints” — basically human babysitting sessions to make sure your AI-generated spaghetti code doesn’t turn into headline fodder for the next big data breach.

Checkpoint One: Humans have to **validate what the AI shits out**, because that “smart” model doesn’t know jack about secure coding principles. It’s like trusting your cat to write firewall rules — cute idea, utter disaster.

Checkpoint Two: **Dependency management** — because the AI will gleefully pull in third-party libraries older than a sysadmin’s hangover and riddled with more holes than Swiss cheese. Somebody’s gotta check that crap manually.

Checkpoint Three: **Secure configuration**. Apparently, AI thinks ‘default creds’ are a great idea, and you’ll find your dev environment wide open faster than a university Wi-Fi portal.

Checkpoint Four: **Continuous monitoring** — because this isn’t a “set it and forget it” operation, it’s more like “set it, panic, and continually fix the flaming mess.”

Checkpoint Five: **Human oversight at every damn turn.** Turns out, if you don’t supervise the AI, it’ll happily generate exploitable trash while smiling at you in binary. The bots aren’t your dev team, mate — they’re interns with a god complex.

In summary: AI coding might save you time, but only if you like spending it cleaning up after a toddler armed with a compiler. Automate intelligently, review ruthlessly, and never — I repeat, never — believe the hype that the machine knows better than you. It doesn’t. It just knows how to break shit faster.

Reminds me of the time some dickhead junior deployed an “AI-assisted” script that auto-deleted test logs — and ended up nuking production backups. Took him two days to figure out what “rm -rf /var/backup” actually does. I laughed so hard I almost rebooted myself.
