If the AI tools can easily find exploits, cannot those same tools be used to harden security? In fact the companies have an advantage over script kiddies: access to more expensive models and compute time as well as professional security eng

The very first paragraph about macros taking a while is wrong. They are really useful and once in your muscle memory a near instantly accessible solution to small tedious tasks. This is true in Neovim and Emacs. I also don't use these
