llustration of two AI agents making changes to the same Salesforce page layout while a green “Deployment Successful” message shows zero errors and warnings, yet the “Related Cases” section is missing—highlighting the hidden risks of shared metadata in agentic development.

The Related List That Disappeared

The Deploy That Looked Clean Two agents, one story: “you handle the flow, I’ll handle the page layout.” Reasonable split — except we hadn’t split the object, we’d split the request. Both agents ended up touching the same page-layout XML in the same run. One added a related list for open cases. The other reordered two fields per a design note from three sprints back. The deploy went out clean. Zero errors, zero warnings. ...

Vibe Coding, Phantom Dependencies, and Why You Need a Bouncer for npm

In the world of enterprise security, Supply Chain Attacks as considered as massive, complex nightmares—think SolarWinds or the XZ Utils backdoor. We assumed they were the domain of nation-states targeting enterprise build servers. But “Vibe Coding” has democratized the Supply Chain attack. Today, the default workflow for senior engineering is asking an LLM for a quick fix. The AI hallucinates a solution, and we copy-paste the import statement without a second thought. But LLMs are dream machines, not compilers. They don’t check the npm registry; they predict the next token. ...
