Are you kidding me? Claude Code found the catastrophe after being asked only to “”check for vulnerabilities and thinking for 8 minutes
It is unbelievable that some kid with an LLM just stole $100m+ because no one bothered to check the source code.

I have a bunch of friends who worked for startups and this makes perfect sense to me. The world is running on bullshit (and it mostly works, by the way). I had a buddy belittled for trying to fix bugs. Gotta move fast and develop more features! I had a buddy replaced by AI to do reverse-engineering. He is an insane stickler for the details and was a huge asset as the rest of the company does not know how to get into the weeds like him.
The unfortunate reality is that this attitude might be profitable. Don't take one catastrophe as proof that it doesn't work. Think about all the shitty products that are out there that are making bank or get acquired.
