Vibe coding has always had and always will have one fundamental flaw: you didn't write the code it produced, therefore you don't have a good understanding/mental model of it.

On the other hand asking these clankers "review the feature branch I wrote" and "review my entire codebase for bugs" or "help me debug this" has saved me months of prospective work.

And more recently most major models have been getting _really_ good at RE, for example you can have OAI models (and maybe A/'s if they don't refuse) use idalib MCP and reverse-engineer stuff from start to finish, then follow up with GLM 5.3 for vuln assessment and exploit PoC.

Stuff that used to take weeks or months now just takes a few hours, or less.
