Module 1 – Vibe Coding a Simple Web App

Narrative

“AI writes code… now what?” Alex opens VS Code, fires up an AI assistant, and says something like: “Build me a simple web app with a few endpoints.” And boom!!—files appear. Routes. Templates. Logic. In minutes, Alex has more code than they could’ve written in an hour. It feels magical. Riley watches quietly. Because Riley knows something Alex doesn’t yet: AI is great at generating functionality—but terrible at judgment. The app works. It’s also vulnerable in ways Alex didn’t intend and didn’t notice.

What this module is really about

• Experiencing the speed boost of AI-assisted development

• Seeing how:

  • Vulnerabilities aren’t always intentional

  • “It works” ≠ “It’s safe”

• Understanding why vibe coding accelerates risk just as fast as features

Real-world parallel

This is exactly what’s happening in enterprises right now:

• AI copilots increase output

• Security teams inherit the consequences

• Vulnerabilities aren’t malicious—they’re accidental

This is why security can’t live only in code review anymore.
