How AI coding agents could infiltrate and destroy open source software

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to use Google's Jules AI Agent to scan through the entire code repository of one of my projects and add a new feature. The AI took about 10 minutes. All told, it took under 30 minutes to use the AI, review its changes, and ship the new feature. Also: Google's Jules AI coding agent built a new feature I could actually ship - while I made coffee At the time, I was wildly impressed. The more I've thought about it, the more worried I've become.
