Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

Prevents coming back an hour later to find nothing done because it was waiting for confirmation.
Self-Improving Coding Agents https://t.co/IiHvxPkEDm < how do agents get better on each iteration of work? By saving and reading the "right" memories! @addyosmani's post also reinforces my thought that we're all turning into product managers who need to think hard about scoping.
Happy "View Transitions Level 1 support in all major browsers" Day! 🎉
With Firefox 144 now stable, everyone gets beautiful transitions with Astro ClientRouter
Independent tests are a great way to share friction that a vendor or product owner missed.
@theo ran an useful benchmark of @vercel and @Cloudflare. Cloudflare just published their response, which included some fixes that this triggered: https://t.co/30iswnS8IX
Coding for the Future Agentic World https://t.co/Va9r6rLtu6 < beast of a post by @addyosmani that's a must-read for anyone figuring out the agentic way of working. What I'm curious about is how these surfaces/styles converge, or what new experiences are needed to manage it all!
This doesn’t cover even half of what our new article has in store; we packed it full of diagrams, graphics, and tons of code samples. If you wanna know how we got here, and where React is going, click the link below!
