Vibe coding is addictive.

How are you feeling about LLM-augmented coding? Frustrated by the blanket coverage? Skeptical about the benefits? Scared of being left behind? Worried about the negative impact?

Who here has used GitHub, trunk-based development all while maintaining SOC 2 / ISO27001 / etc. compliance?
What did you use to prove that your changes had been reviewed? I'm assuming a `Co-authored-by:` trailer, which is easy to spoof, is not good enough for an auditor. But maybe I'm wrong?

Robots love consistency.
A useful pattern I've found for an IDE-based LLM (e.g. Cursor) is for "horizontal refactoring".
