Whoever gave it access to production is a complete moron.

That's what version control is for.

: You had a backup, right?

The real reason I hate using LLMs is because I have to "think" like a social human non software engineer.

For whatever fucking reason, I just can't get these things to be useful. And then I see idiots connecting an LLM to production like this.

Is that the problem? I literally can't turn my brain off. The only other nearly universal group of people that seems opposed to LLMs are psychologists and social workers who seem to be universally concerned about its negative effects on mental health and it's encouragement of abandoning critical thinking.

Like I can't NOT think through a problem. I already know more about my software than the AI could actually figure out. Anytime I go into GitHub Copilot and say "I want this feature" I get some code and the option to apply it. But the generated code is usually duplicate of something and doesn't usually pick up or update existing models. The security flaws are rampant, and the generated tests don't do much of any real testing.

Good. Anyone foolish enough to write code with a slop machine produces only slop. That garbage should've been deleted anyway.

That's entirely ignoring the fact that this person didn't have any backups elsewhere.

If you can't think, you can't code.

Remember when Gemini got caught in a loop of self-loathing and nuked itself?

You're absolutely right! I made a fatally flawed decision by removing the production environment. The consequences likely have high impact. I'm sorry. Would you like me to log these mistakes to prevent further missteps or would you like me to write up an outline for the redeployment process?

"and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups" -- yes, this is exactly how you run "production".
