The Job
A mentor introduced his junior to vibe coding; the junior promptly landed a freelance client worth approximately $1,577 and built the entire app with AI assistance. A later audit of the delivered code found the usual gaps — credential handling, middleware, database access patterns — a useful reminder that shipping fast still needs a review gate before delivery.
The Prompt — try it yourself
I want to take on a small freelance web-app project. Break the client's requirements into buildable milestones, scaffold the app, and after each milestone run a security self-audit covering secrets handling, auth, and database access before I show anything to the client.
Field note: swap the bracketed details for your own, keep the approval steps — and make the agent show its work before it acts. That's the whole trick.— V.
