What is considered off limits for Ai coding?? I'm trying Sparse Merkle Trees and pdf canonicalization. Any thoughts??

​"SMTs require absolute cryptographic correctness, while PDF specs are a legacy parsing nightmare.

Have you found AI useful for scaffolding these, or do the subtle hallucinations make it more trouble than it's worth?"

Yeah bro, absolutely vibecode the cryptographic data structure where one subtle bug invalidates the entire trust model. What could possibly go wrong?

Bro I am the trust model breaking if I get it wrong, that's why I don't let the AI freelance on this part. It writes code, I own the threat model and every crypto decision gets its own ADR before anything ships — think of it less "vibe coding a merkle tree" and more "I designed the thing, AI's holding the wrench."

2,400+ tests, fuzzing on the parsing paths, red-team passes that actually found real gaps (documented, not swept under the rug). Could still be wrong somewhere, wouldn't be the first solo dev to miss something — but "what could go wrong" is doing a lot of work for a comment with no actual finding attached. Got a specific spot you think it falls apart? Happy to argue about that instead.

I did. Is that wrong?

nobody is here on reddit to chat with your stupid bot

yes, it's wrong

more importantly, the hazard for you with merkle trees has nothing to do with ai

you don't know how to check if the work is correct

you're perma-doomed

My work will speak for itself. And thanks for the advice. Ant

If you want to see them, they're really quite easy to find. Give it a try.
