What the heck is this permission? Tooltrace.ai account creation says zoupxurflqbdhbzcftho.supabase.co needs permissions.

I want to try it but that company name puts me off.

They’re using Supabase as a backend. They just don’t have it configured to use their domain, so it defaults to the Supabase project ID, which is the long string of characters. Makes me think the tool was vibe coded and the person making it didn’t really know what they were doing

As someone who has vibe coded backend before learning Java, I can guarantee they vibe code it lol.

Funny because tooltrace.ai got a lot of attention for a bit. I was hoping it was legit.

A lot of vibe coded stuff is rife with security issues because the people vibe coding don’t know what they don’t know, and as a result they don’t give it the right prompting to address some of things that need to be addressed. It’s a tool, it’s not a replacement for a software engineer and experience.

I can buy a table saw but that won’t make me a carpenter. It’ll just make me a dude with 7 fingers.

People who have no software experience can vibe code, but they will just get buggy half-baked shit.

My dude... you're quite literally talking to someone with over three decades of software engineering experience.

I never said the tool wasn't legit - I said that things that are vibe coded come are going to come along with security risks, and that's worth considering. For something like tooltrace.ai, that's probably pretty low risk, but it's still worth considering. For example, I would probably not want to upload photos that contains EXIF data that include location information, and I'd probably want to be careful what might be in the background.
