n other posts he says he has a team of developers and multiple businesses, which sounds like multiple software teams. The business that was affected has been around 5+ years, way before AI tools.

This wasn’t just one guy vibe-coding. This is a company that never invested enough in processes and controls. Most mid to small size businesses probably lack controls and likely lack the in-house knowledge to implement proper controls.

@jackfriks I’ve blown away a production table using copy + paste before. Did you know not if you copy from some web sites, it can remove semi-colons??

@JustJake @irl_danB What about deletion protection? Should be default for anything a user indicates is production or just never wants to delete. Can only be deleted via extra confirmation steps in the console.

Delayed deletes seems like a bandaid (although, you probably need it too).

[minboost @minboost]

100% - the thing is, nearly all of these things exist. Humans have been making mistakes, including deleting prod databases, since the beginning.

The same processes and tools that protect against human error can be applied to AI agents. The problem is, lots of companies, even those with software engineers, don’t follow best practices and managers and owners aren’t aware.

@lifeof_jer @GergelyOrosz There are automations for secrets detection. Tell your devs to start using tools like trufflehog. You can have it run as a GitHub Action so you catch it quickly.

Whoa! The Tesla Cybercab is roaming around Austin?!? #cybercab

[minboost @minboost]

It’s just the same as asking who knows the most about anything. Everyone is the go-to person for something.

Generally, when people become more valuable it gets recognized at some point, hopefully. But that probably takes some time.

I would say, for software engineers at least, it’s part of their duties. If they’re not leading, the need to be keeping up. It’s quickly becoming a minimum requirement.

[minboost @minboost]

@dparedesi @thesamparr You just need to ask. The leaders are very enthusiastic about AI.

[minboost @minboost]

I agree with this - you need at least one Claude-pilled person and that person needs to be enabled and given the mission.

And the first person they need to convert is the person with the most knowledge of the project/work/code. Getting that person to be Claude-pilled unlocks a Skills and Agents that make it easier to get the rest of the team on board.

@bcherny Can tools like this and /simplify simply built into the process? Start with plan mode, end with simplify and review before it’s considered done?

@elonmusk can I get a door handle? I've been waiting for 6 months to fix my sticking door handle on my #model3 I'm in #servicehell

[minboost @minboost]

@12thLady @Amtrak They hit a car, so I’d assume so.

@Tesla are hold times normally this long to sched. service? I can't get thru to Buena Park service center and my Model S is showing warnings

Hey @bamboohr can you get rid of the right arrow that turns into the "deny" button for vacation requests? I keep accidentally denying #ux

@mitsuhiko In Los Angeles, taxis will refuse to take you if they feel like it's too short of a ride or a hassle for them. Uber always picks you up.

[minboost @minboost]

Better to hire too fast than too slowly. If you hesitate too long, you may have to watch someone else build your idea. #startup

@wilorinion have you read Blackbox Thinking? That's another great way to change healthcare.
