In Khachatur’s words: “We didn’t make cars smaller so they could squeeze between trees, we built roads so we could drive them everywhere. AI code generation is the car. Together, we’re building the road.”

Happening this Thursday ❤️‍🔥 We’re back with the next edition of ~all vibes /no vulns. Hosted by our own Mackenzie Jackson, with special guests Igor A. (CISO @ Lovable) and Bil Harmer (CISO @ Supabase). Together we’ll build, hack, and secure an app in real time. Join us → luma.com/lovablexaiki...

Happening TOMORROW. Willem Delbare (CEO & Co-founder, Aikido) and Khachatur V. (CEO & Co-founder, Trag) go live to talk about the future of code review. Quality code is secure code. Let’s talk about it → lu.ma/aikidoxtrag

We merged Trag into Aikido, to build the future of LLM-native code review together. Join Willem Delbare (Aikido) and Khachatur V. (Trag) for a live session on what this merger means, how AI code review is changing, and what’s next with our unified code + security product.

🔒 Security isn’t a checklist, it’s a mindset, built into every step of development. #Aikido helps developers grow by learning secure coding in context; each vulnerability they fix makes them better at preventing the next. 👇👇👇 www.aikido.dev/customer-sto...

Big news: Trag is now part of Aikido AI is writing more code than ever, and developers are stuck reviewing it with tools that were never built for this. Devs deserve better. That’s why we brought Trag into Aikido.
