The Vercel leak is a warning shot for agentic coders

If you haven't heard, Vercel confirmed they had a security incident on the 19th of April. That hit matters more than the average vendor's bad week, because a great proportion of "LLM whisperers" and vibe coders run their frontend through Vercel. Vercel state that more than 30% of deployments on its platform are now initiated by coding agents, up 1000% in six months . They also say that projects deployed by coding agents are 20x more likely to call AI inference providers than human-deployed ones.
