I would rather claim that building a theoretically secure system is prohibitively expensive. At the end of the day, Mythos et al. are just better tools for finding vulnerabilities that will eventually be available to both offensive and defensive actors.
If you imagine you had a vulnerability scanner as fast and convenient as a linter, it would be much cheaper to write secure code right away. Probably not perfectly secure, but still secure enough to make sure finding exploits stays expensive.
I would find it funny if one day we found it irresponsable to write hand generated production code. Just like it would be irresponsable to build a significan building without running numerical simulations.
it's probably less about how you write the code to begin with and more about letting a tool hammer on it
if you want to be a one man show handcrafting an artisan iOS app that will be fine, but you should probably let Claude bang against it for a while to shake out whatever bugs
This day is probably not long off. My prediction is before the end of 2028.
