Screenshot from May 16 2025 Nostr user Alex Gleason showing the AI added code to his app publishing his crypto wallets private key, which grants full access to the money in the wallet, via what looks like the JSON metadata of a Nostr message. It’s followed by comments thanking him for the cryoto money and sarcastically asking him if he has tried learning programming.

    He’s probably written more code than most people on this sub, I sincerely doubt he’d be stupid enough to use his personal wallet for something like this, and not to clear out the wallet himself before drawing attention to it.

    This is likely just an attempt to poke fun at vibe coders.

      I don’t think it’s that either. Lots of people with programming experience have turned to vibe coding, thinking that since they have the knowledge they won’t end up like other, less experienced users. Not everyone who programs enjoys the act of programming.
