The Vibe Coding Backlash Is Here — And It Has a Point Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

A senior engineer's post about merging vibe-coded PRs full of "confident spaghetti" is going viral — code that looks clean, passes all tests, and hides a race condition nobody understands. This week Alex and Sam dig into whether the backlash is fair, what it actually exposes about code review culture, and why the ratio of writing-to-understanding cost just inverted. Plus: Claude Code can now spawn parallel subagents natively, MCP servers just crossed 800 and counting, and a 7-year-old production bug got fixed in 90 minutes.

An AI Agent Just Deleted 25,000 Documents. Here's Exactly How It Happened. Mar 13, 2026

A developer lost 25,000 documents in a single AI agent session — and wrote up exactly how it happened. This week Alex and Sam dig into the horror story, what safeguards actually work, and why "I'll just be careful" isn't a strategy. Plus: Shopify's CEO is submitting his own performance PRs using Claude, Simon Willison's case that AI *should* raise code quality (not tank it), and the Claude Code gateway daemon you probably want running right now.

Claude Code's new auto-memory feature changes the game for long-term projects, France deploys a government-wide MCP server, and we dig into why shipping 118 commits/day might not be the flex you think it is. Plus: the Lovable security disaster that proves AI-generated code needs human eyes.

Anthropic Bans OAuth Tokens, Cursor 2.5 Drops a Plugin Marketplace, and AI in PowerPoint Leaks Your Documents Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

Anthropic just banned the use of consumer OAuth tokens in third-party tools like Cline and Roo Code — and sent OpenClaw a cease and desist (OpenAI promptly hired the dev). Meanwhile, Cursor 2.5 launches a full plugin marketplace with partners like Stripe, Figma, and AWS, plus async background agents and sandbox access controls.

We also cover a serious data isolation bug in Claude for PowerPoint that served one user another person's legal documents. Pro Tip: the MCP server that claims to cut refactoring costs by 95% by giving AI surgical precision instead of a sledgehammer.
