Have been reading source code for over 15 years now. I read the source code of a lot of software, just for curiosity's sake. I go out of my way to read the source code of random scripts I find laying about and that I want to run, and I do so before running them. PKGBUILDs are in that category, as are random scripts people throw on GitHub.
Only difference is now I ask AI models to read the source too. Chances of malware slipping by both myself and AI is lower than it slipping by either in isolation.
