i think i should be glad that i’m not in the kinds of places that use phrases like the “bozo bit” as i’m jsut only now hearing about that

@kopper not reading this entire thing but I don’t think this guy Gets it. sure there’s lots of valuable lessons to be learned from others’ mistakes but uhh.

when it comes to “our AI agent deleted the entire database,” the overall lesson is actually extremely simple: Don’t use a AI agent 🤑🤑

maybe some people genuinely are “bozos” . it’s not “this wouldn’t happen to me,” because for everyone who isn’t vibecoding like that, it can’t

anyways uhhhm yeah

@sierra @kopper what's crazy is people KEEP USING IT. if I accidentally deleted an entire codebase i would be fired immediately
