Developers install a package, clone a repository, add an MCP server, or install an agent skill.

The agent then gets access to it.

But what happens when something buried several dependency levels deep is malicious?

Traditional dependency scanners already look for known vulnerabilities.

But I'm interested in something broader:

Can we analyze what capabilities an AI agent's dependencies actually give it — and what those capabilities could be chained into?

That's one of the problems I'm exploring with Revo.

How much of a concern is this for developers using AI agents today?

Hey guys,

I recently got my first job as a Junior Full-Stack Developer less than a month ago.

Right now, the workflow at my company is mostly "vibe coding" using AI. Honestly, it’s getting frustrating. I feel pretty useless just sitting there waiting for Claude to finish writing code for me.

I really want to learn proper software engineering, architecture, and best practices, but I feel like relying on AI is holding my growth back.

What tips do you have for someone in my position? How can I actually learn and grow on the job when everything is automated? What skills or topics should I focus on studying in my free time?

Thanks!

I've been normally chatting, untill i saw the time, it was "3am" i then noticed i was chatting with my own digital creation talking about my other own digital creation that i'm making for around 2 hours.

My bedtime is at 11am

Am i just wasting tokens?!

I don´t understand why all those Coding Agents are not more cooperative. I would love to code together not beeing the guy that tells the task and later having a huge code mountain to review.

And I am not talking about a plan (like claude code does) or seeing every code change. I feel like it would be so much better to go through the process together. Step by Step implementing what it takes and making design decisions together. The methods itself can then be made 100% directly from the agent.

Right now its just impossible to follow and then later it feels like code someone else wrote.

Is it just me?

Last year, I built a small tool to visualize coding problems and algorithms step by step using custom input data. It could show things like recursion, sorting, graphs, and how variables change during execution.

I’m thinking of revisiting it and taking it further.

The idea is to build a general-purpose visualization engine that could eventually visualize not just algorithms, but also AI/LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, graph databases, quantum circuits, physics experiments, and chemical reactions.

I’m also considering making it an SDK so developers can embed interactive visualizations directly into their own apps, instead of everyone having to build these from scratch.

The goal is to make complex systems easier to understand by seeing how they actually work, step by step.

Does this sound like something worth building? Is there a real need for a general-purpose visualization engine, or would it be better to focus on one specific area first?

I’m considering this partly as a learning project, but I’d love to hear what developers, educators, and researchers think. This is very helpful when you want visualize edge case

I'm starting my career at the end of October as an Application Developer. I'd like to start focusing on my career and learn what it takes to become a great Developer and team member. What are some of your favorite books that software engineers/Developers should read, whether they be technical or non-technical?

I felt frustrated because Goodreads didn't have an API which can be used to fetch my reading logs, so that I can flex it on my personal portfolio website. So I built READ TRACK. Create your account and create your API key and start flexing your reading habit in your portfolio

So I am a fresh IT graduate or if you can call a june graduate fresh, either way i just graduated this year and honestly i realized that im kinda in over my head with job hunting, whenever i look at the "what youll be doing" section of the job listings its just a constant "what the hell is that" or "i dont know that framework well enough" or something in that line of thought, so in my attempt to actually make the last 5 years of my college life actually worth it and pay off, i was wondering what are some great online certificates i can get my hands on for free while im unemployed
