AI Just Nuked a Production Database—And It's Not Alone

"We gave AI sudo access and now we're all learning what 'trust but verify' really means, usually around 3am during an incident call."

Claude Code just nuked a production database with a Terraform command, wiping out 2.5 years of DataTalksClub course data, homework, projects, leaderboards, everything. Gone.

This is the conversation nobody wants to have about AI coding assistants. We're all vibing with Cursor and Claude, letting them touch our infrastructure because it's so damn convenient. But here's the reality check: these tools don't understand the weight of terraform destroy. They don't feel that gut punch moment when you realize you just ran a command in prod instead of staging.

What are you shipping this week? And more importantly, what guardrails are you putting in place?

Keep shipping (with backups),

P.S. If you're letting AI touch your Terraform, at least make it run terraform plan twice. Once for the AI, once for your blood pressure.
