Why Cloud Bills Can Hit $100K Overnight

Cloud billing disasters are a developer's nightmare, and they happen faster than you can react. This episode explores real-world horror stories—from a student's $8,000 recursion trap to AI agents racking up thousands in minutes—and reveals why "infinite scaling" can be a financial landmine. We dig into the technical and architectural reasons your cloud provider won't just hit the brakes, and what it means for the future of autonomous AI spending your money.
