With the help of AI, i see no reason to install most deps nowadays besides types and react and mui framework. Everything can be built from scratch quickly.

I think this is a pretty common approach nowadays, and one of the reasons why I believe my job is safe for now. I expect to be called up to fix some of the resulting mess. It's a two-edged sword, for sure.

Now you have shifted your supply chain issues to your coding agent.

  • And do you think the severity of the issue is anywhere near the same?

    • I think this will remain to be seen. Wasn't there a paper linked here on HN recently, that claimed, that even few examples are sufficient, to poison LLMs? (I didn't read that paper, and merely interpreted the meaning of the title.)
