Steve Yegge argues that a larger volume of generated code can increase the absolute number of vulnerabilities even if the defect rate stays unchanged. A program that passes functional tests may still contain dangerous dependencies or security flaws. He discusses hallucinated package names as a supply-chain risk, not as an attack tutorial.
Steve Yegge recommends treating functional correctness and security as distinct review tasks. Timely developer feedback, independent analysis and vetted software inputs complement an agent's own checks. His tool examples and anecdotes do not establish a universal security guarantee.
Steve Yegge extends the discussion to agents acting through service accounts. Narrow permissions, supervision and adversarial review limit what an agent can do. He identifies prompt injection as an unresolved problem rather than claiming that a harness or another model makes autonomous action safe.
