"Hey Claude, where's my database?": How an AI agent nuked production w/ Alexey Grigorev

from Humans of Reliability · host Rootly

"Hey Claude, where's my database?" The answer came back: "Oh, sorry, your database is gone." Alexey Grigorev, founder of DataTalks.Club and creator of the Zoomcamp courses that have taught data and ML engineering to over 100,000 people, knows Terraform well enough to cover it in his curriculum. That didn't stop a chain of small, reasonable-sounding decisions from ending in an AI agent running terraform destroy against his live production database.
