A CS undergrad asked me where he could have most effect in the AI age. I said probably at either extreme: either close to the technology, actually making LLMs, or close to the customer, using AI to give them exactly what they want. Or maybe both if you can stretch that far.

The AUDACITY of Claude to add itself as a co-author on the git commits

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

A Vercel user reported an issue that sounded extremely scary. An unknown GitHub OSS codebase being deployed to their team.

We, of course, took the report extremely seriously and began an investigation. Security and infra engineering engaged.

Turns out Opus 4.6 *hallucinated a public repository ID* and used our API to deploy it. Luckily for this user, the repository was harmless and random. The JSON payload looked like this:

"𝚐𝚒𝚝𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚌𝚎": {
"𝚝𝚢𝚙𝚎": "𝚐𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚞𝚋",
"𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚘𝙸𝚍": "𝟿𝟷𝟹𝟿𝟹𝟿𝟺𝟶𝟷", // ⚠️ 𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚞𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍
"𝚛𝚎𝚏": "𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗"
}

When the user asked the agent to explain the failure, it confessed:

The agent never looked up the GitHub repo ID via the GitHub API. There are zero GitHub API calls in the session before the first rogue deployment.

The number 913939401 appears for the first time at line 877 — the agent fabricated it entirely.

The agent knew the correct project ID (prj_▒▒▒▒▒▒) and project name (▒▒▒▒▒▒) but invented a plausible-looking numeric repo ID rather than looking it up.

Some takeaways:
▪️ Even the smartest models have bizarre failure modes that are very different from ours. Humans make lots of mistakes, but certainly not make up a random repo id.
▪️ Powerful APIs create additional risks for agents. The API exist to import and deploy legitimate code, but not if the agent decides to hallucinate what code to deploy!
▪️ Thus, it's likely the agent would have had better results had it not decided to use the API and stuck with CLI or MCP.

This reinforces our commitment to make Vercel the most secure platform for agentic engineering. Through deeper integrations with tools like Claude Code and additional guardrails, we're confident security and privacy will be upheld.

Note: the repo id above is randomized for privacy reasons.

wait, no ones gonna talk about how tf is openclaw's creator doing 1891 commits in a day?

tbh since covid world just feels like a wild computer game. It’s impossible to understand what is real and what is not. For the next ten years a bet on love

[Shahad Pichen @ShahadPichen]

My POV:

It’s cool seeing people with zero coding background build real things now.

After 2 years of vibe coding, what changed for me isnt writing less code - it’s owning more decisions. Feels like devs are now responsible for steering (and reviewing) their AI 😅

Nobody talks about how ugly your app looks when users do not upload avatars.

You end up with dead circles everywhere and a generic UI that feels dead.

So I fixed that with FaceHashes!

> One string equals one fun unique avatar
> Full customisable
> $ npm i facehash

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

“Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room”

Many founders think of "brand" as a logo or colors or visuals

But as a founder, you are the brand

Giving users your cell #, fixing bugs right now, and hiring great people build brand more than any logo
