What happened
The Hacker News is promoting a Chainguard-sponsored webinar titled 'The True Cost of Building at Machine Speed,' addressing the security bottleneck that emerges when AI-assisted development increases code output 10-50x. The webinar argues that traditional CVE-driven remediation cycles break down at that scale because scanning produces larger backlogs rather than reducing risk, and that attackers now have access to the same AI models accelerating development.
Why it matters
If your team is using AI coding tools and shipping significantly more code, your security review and dependency-management process is likely becoming the bottleneck. The concrete signal here is that more scanning alone increases backlog rather than reducing risk—you should evaluate whether your current remediation workflow can handle the volume, or whether you need secure-by-default controls upstream before code reaches production. However, this is a vendor webinar promo with no actionable technical detail yet, so the practical value is limited until the content is available.
Discussion angle
Whether teams using AI coding assistants locally have already hit the security review bottleneck described, and what concrete changes they've made to their dependency and vulnerability workflows to cope with higher code volume.
