Knowing What Vibecoding Changes

Identify the four key decision areas AI tools affect during the build process: architecture, dependencies, security surface, and data handling

Explain why ownership of AI-generated code decisions remains with the developer, even when those decisions weren't made consciously

Evaluate third-party dependencies for maintenance risk, including how to assess activity on GitHub and identify single points of failure

Recognise common security risks introduced by AI-generated code, such as exposed API keys, missing input validation, and insecure defaults

Apply a critical review mindset to AI-generated code, analogous to reviewing a contract drafted by an AI assistant
