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.
@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).
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.
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.
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?
