SecureBase AI: Automated Security Linter and Backend Validator for AI-Generated Code

Building an App (backend development)

Since you're already learning JavaScript, I wouldn't jump into a completely different language yet. Learn a JS backend too. Node.js + Express or something like NestJS, then PostgreSQL for the database. And yes, you can vibe code a lot of the app. The dangerous part is vibe coding the backend and assuming "it works" means "it's secure." AI is actually really useful for building backend code, but you should understand enough to recognize what it's doing. At minimum learn authentication, authorization, password hashing, sessions/tokens, input validation, SQL injection, parameterized queries, CORS, rate limiting, secret/API key storage, database permissions and basic logging. One of the biggest beginner mistakes is thinking authentication means security. Just because somebody is logged in doesn't mean they should be able to request `/api/users/1234` and see someone else's information. Every backend action needs proper authorization. I'd build something small first: React Native app → Node API → PostgreSQL Make users register and log in, let them create/edit/delete something, then make sure User A can never access User B's stuff. That little project will teach you more about backend development than trying to learn everything before starting. Definitely use AI. Just treat it like a junior developer whose code you still have to review, especially anywhere authentication, money or private user data is involved. Also don't wait until you "know backend" before building your app. Build the app and learn the backend as you reach each problem. That's probably the fastest way you're going to learn.
