Great advice! One nuance though:
most LLM API keys don't support permission scoping (like read-only), only budget limits — so I now issue separate keys per service to isolate blast radius.
AWS keys can be properly locked down with IAM policies. Expensive lesson learned. Thanks!
Partially agree — accountability does drive investment.
But it's not just govt shutdowns:
AWS froze my account within days, reversed the fraudulent charges, and the whole cleanup cost me a week.
Market forces (chargebacks, insurance, enterprise audits) punish slop faster than bureaucracies in many cases.
Bureaucracy is slow everywhere though, that part I get lol
