Hello World!So I am new to the world of cybersecurity, and after some back and forth with AI, I chose to use a specific tool that was recommended for automated vulnerability detection & patching, but I think the issue I encountered is something common to all similar platforms that provide AI security fixes in 2026.It proposed a fix to an issue labeled 'critical'. I gave the specific file...

Let me share part of my journey.

Indeed, for years, I was looking for a technical co-founder.

I virtually did not find the right profile serious enough for such a role.

I ended up learning software myself after graduating from business studies at university.

Then AI came in the middle of my self-learning journey, I started using it as a software writer. I thought I could 'vibe-code' it into anything I want.

I was wrong.

1. It made so many mistakes. 2. I needed solid understanding of software basics to be able to understand the code it is writing, to be able to architect a complex software for a startup idea I had in mind.

I went back to learning software from reliable non-AI sources. By the time I learnt so many things about software, I gave AI another try.

This time it worked.

I became an AI-assisted Founder & Systems Architect.

But it's only the beginning, AI is non-deterministic!

Happy Coding!

Sounds great, but, how does it work under the hood? In the end, AI is non-deterministic ...

How do you know what's slop and what's not? What's your source? Sounds interesting for content writers.

this is super interesting, time for upgraded system instructions for AI agents I guess ... but one has to check (with evals) whether system instructions suffice (to ignore sponsored content).
