I vibe-slopped a small and local forms application for my family. I explicitly mentioned that fact to the LLM.
Yet, I removed 2/3s of the code, because it checked every file if it REALLY exists, that the input form was less than a million bytes in size, that there were propper HTTP status codes for everything, and that every possible error from reading data was eagerly checked and caught.
Like come on! Less than five people will ever look at it! They aren't going to try to exploit it!
