What’s different now is that AI has created a world where new people are using a tool they think will make them software engineers. People with little to no experience working a command line or playing with JSON are vibe coding complex systems without understanding how they work or what they’re building. “And I want to be clear—I'm fully supportive of this. More people building is a good thing. The democratisation of software development is genuinely exciting,” O’Reilly said. “But these new builders are going to need to learn security just as fast as they're learning to vibe code. You can't speedrun development and ignore the lessons we've spent twenty years learning the hard way.”
