First frame: "Let's just write some chill code and not worry about security. It's an internal tool anyway." Second frame: *puts on glasses, sees reality clearly* "Holy $#!%, we're basically running an unpatched WordPress site with admin/admin credentials on a public IP." The transition from "vibe coding" to "vulnerability as a service" is the exact moment every project goes from "just ship it" to "we're all going to jail." The glasses represent that brief moment of clarity between deadlines when you realize you've basically built a digital welcome mat for hackers.

Left: "It took me a few minutes to make BibleGPT with custom GPT. Now? 5 seconds with Devin." Right: "Who is doubting thomas" → "Sorry, an error occurred while fetching your answer." Bottom: "It exposed my API key so I had to revoke :(" The AI dev tool pipeline in 2024: Build something in 5 seconds, deploy it in 2 seconds, expose your API keys in 1 second. Progress! This is why we can't have nice things in tech. The faster we build, the faster we leak credentials. The modern developer experience is just speedrunning security vulnerabilities.

Ah yes, the "modern" software stack—where simplicity goes to die and your resume gets a steroid injection. What started as "I just want to build a website" has evolved into this technological fever dream where you need 47 different frameworks, 23 APIs, and a small data center just to display "Hello World." The real kicker? Half of these technologies will be deprecated by the time you finish reading this. Your frontend needs React, unless the client prefers Angular, or maybe Vue, or wait—is Flutter hot this week? Don't forget Tailwind because apparently regular CSS wasn't complicated enough. And look at that "optional" messaging layer that's somehow mandatory in every architecture review. Nothing says efficiency like having Kafka, RabbitMQ, and SQS all running simultaneously because different teams couldn't agree on which one to use. The best part? Some poor soul will have to maintain this Jenga tower of dependencies while management wonders why projects take so long to complete.
