As AI-powered vibe coding enables anyone to build software through natural language prompts, the security disciplines that traditionally accompanied development are being left behind. The piece traces software development's evolution from Waterfall through Agile and DevOps to today's conversational AI era, arguing that while AI removes friction between idea and deployable code, it also removes the checkpoints where security decisions were made. Risks include AI-generated code containing hidden vulnerabilities, privilege escalation flaws, and compliance gaps. The author calls for threat modeling, code review, least privilege, and identity security practices to evolve at the same pace as AI-assisted development, warning that vibe coding could become the new shadow IT without proper governance.
