Will vibe coding end like the maker movement?

Vibe coding lacks the transformative power of previous hobbyist technology scenes due to its direct deployment to the public and lack of a scenius phase. A new metaphor for vibe coding is consumption of surplus intelligence, where the value lies in judgment, taste-making, and creative direction rather than the output itself.

AirSnitch: Demystifying and breaking client isolation in Wi-Fi networks [pdf]

Client isolation in Wi-Fi networks is not a standardized feature and can be bypassed by attackers using various techniques such as abusing shared Group Temporal Keys (GTKs) and gateway bouncing. This allows attackers to intercept and inject traffic, enabling them to become a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) and potentially launch higher-layer attacks.
