Vibecoding Safely: Home, Hobbyist & Solopreneur
You’re building real apps with an AI coding agent, and you want to do it without losing your data, breaking your machine, or burning your customers’ trust.
AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, and the rest) let one person build things that used to take a team. But they take real actions on your machine, and a confident mistake (or a prompt injection) can delete data, leak secrets, or quietly do far more than you asked.
This track starts with the foundations every builder needs: what agentic coding actually is, and the three ways AI fails (hallucination, prompt injection, sycophancy). Then it turns to protecting your machine, your data, and your work: back up before you start, grant least-privilege access, understand permission modes and the “YOLO” skip-permissions trap, gate destructive actions, and give the agent a sanitized view of data instead of the raw thing.
