If you have 1000s of users, how is it a "personal project" anymore? I meant things that you only use yourself. Also why would your private data leak just because you used AI to reduce time to code? Any gain is good, even if it doesn't fully replace everything you good, no?

Because I offer no warranty and work on it on my personal time. What use is code nobody uses?

Because if I don't exercise rigor and review oops you let the security holes in (I had to do like 4-7 separate pentest passes on AI generated code to catch and close the vulnerabilities)

As I said, that is not what I meant by "personal projects that don't matter". And who said about code that nobody uses? 1 person is using that code in my definition, in case it wasn't clear.

So we are just talking semantics here at this point.
