Thing is, as we all know, prototypes rarely make it to the trash bin if managers and product owners have a stake in the project. Which becomes an even bigger problem now that minimal amounts of humans are involved in producing said prototypes.

I had a meeting with a customer who proudly proclaimed they do “full-on agentic coding” at their startup, and one of their developers mentioned their entire codebase has been rewritten three times in the past week before the meeting took place. I do not have high hopes for their project ever being refactored by humans involved in anything else than light UAT before customer demo time.

This happened to me, just a few weeks ago. I am glad I had btrfs snapshots…

They have never reported a data breach.

Fixed that for you. Same goes for most companies though - the abscense of a publicly known data breach does not mean it hasn’t happened, with or without said company’s knowledge.

Residential proxies are controversial, as the majority of them are made available via adware inserted into mobile apps, running without the device owner’s knowledge about it:

Residential proxy networks grow through several mechanisms. The most widespread is SDK-based provisioning: proxy companies pay mobile developers to embed their SDK into free or low-cost applications, which ships with a lengthy end-user licence agreement that, buried in legal language, consents to routing third-party traffic through the user’s device. Most users click through without reading it (Trend Micro, 2025; Google, 2026; FBI, 2026).

I guarantee you, managers, sales teams and PR firms have been writing copy like this since the first company was started. Unfortunately, LLM is just reducing the amount of typing a human has to do.
