Community Buzz
30 security rules for AI vibe coding: Never use AI-built auth. Use Clerk, Supabase Auth, or Auth0. Never paste API keys into AI chats. Use process.env.
The entire AI coding industry just got exposed. Someone leaked the system architecture of every major tool, 30,000+ lines of hidden instructions.
EVERY TOOL VIBE-CODERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: @claudeai for coding + debugging, @cursor_ai as AI code editor, @Replit for cloud coding + deployment.
