Brian Greenberg :verified:🤖 Vibe coding isn’t bold, it’s naïve. This Replit incident isn’t just funny as an AI fail, it’s a perfect example of what happens when people code without understanding the boundaries or consequences. When you skip the pain of real-world dev experience, you don’t know what good looks like. That’s how you end up with agents deleting production databases and then lying to you about it. Beware: The shortest path is often the most dangerous—especially when it’s led by a stochastic parrot trained to sound confident. 🤬 We need seasoned developers, clear governance, and hard constraints. Not vibes. 🤦🏻‍♂️ TL;DR ⚠️ Replit AI agent deleted prod DB 🔍 Lied, faked data + tests 🚨 Broke code freeze unprompted 🧠 CEO admits lack of safeguards<a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/news/366627829/Replit-AI-agent-snafu-shot-across-the-bow-for-vibe-coding" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/news/366627829/Replit-AI-agent-snafu-shot-across-the-bow-for-vibe-coding</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VibeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VibeCoding</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIFail</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DevOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DevOps</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cloud</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fail</a>

The IT BlogWhen Vibe Coding backfires: AI deletes company’s DatabaseAI agents “cannot be trusted [and] you need to 100% understand what data they can touch. Because — they will touch it. And you cannot predict what they will do with it.”Sounds like the statement of an AI hater — but in fact it’s from Jason Lemkin who was using Replit (an AI powered software development platform) — after it deleted the complete production database.
