I'd actually feel pretty safe with a LLM project if spec'd against the protocol documentation as opposed to a rookie's handcoded implementation. If security is the concern, I don't think using random reimplements is very safe to begin with.

This is a false choice. You can pick neither and for all you know you're picking both.

Same. I had a couple LLM's rewrite, harden an anonymous image board. It's not popular but exposed to the internet and the Tor network. Not worried at all.

Unless the model changes and messes half the code base on next iteration. Or Anthropic decides to A/B test your agent.

Or when shit goes sideways and someone actually needs to take a human look at the BF s. I’d rather have the guy who manually with human eyes read the specs.
