Coders Are Letting AI Write Their Crap Code – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Oh, fantastic. Because what the world really needed in 2026 was a bunch of caffeine-deprived developers outsourcing their last functioning brain cell to some shiny “AI agent” that promises to write secure code. Guess what? It doesn’t. Surprise, dickheads! According to this lovely article, everyone’s diving headfirst into letting AI systems code, patch, and deploy without the faintest bloody idea of how these things actually handle security. Spoiler alert: they don’t handle it well.

The hot new trend is “AI pair programming” or “autonomous code agents,” which sounds sexy until your production database gets faceplanted because some overfed machine-learning model confused an API key with a pizza topping. These AI coding assistants can help **if** you know what you’re doing — but most people don’t. So now we’ve got developers getting lazy, security teams inflating their resumes, and the attackers sitting back, munching popcorn, watching the chaos unfold like it’s goddamn Netflix.

Experts are yelling that, shockingly, AI can import vulnerabilities faster than you can say “breach notification.” The more we automate, the more gaping holes we open up for every digital cockroach out there. Sure, the productivity goes up, but so does the pile of flaming security crap you leave festering in your codebase. The article basically says: “Hey, AI is great, but treat it like an intern. Don’t trust it with sharp objects or production systems.” Naturally, half the industry skips that part because reading is hard when you’re drooling about efficiency metrics.

So yeah, welcome to 2026, where the coders are too busy letting robots write insecure nonsense while pretending they’re innovating. The rest of us will be patching their dumpster fires for eternity. Hooray.

Reminds me of the time I let the intern “automate” a backup process. Next morning, the bastard deleted the backups and emailed the boss a confirmation that “all systems are secure.” AI or human, same bloody result – me spending three days resurrecting the mess.
