letting your agent run commands without reviewing them first is peak stupid
Having production credentials in a dev environment is more stupider but they'll never learn because they outsourced their thinking.
Everyone has a development environment, but not everyone has a separate production environment.
This is almost certainly the case of dev happening in the live environment.
The thing is Claude would have told them that too, it probably did tbh and they just clicked right through the warning
Dev cycles now.
Creating an environment that incentivizes not thinking is peak stupid.
I for one welcome that change. Let them sloppify their brains once the rug is pulled and token cost skyrockets (or AI isn't able to fix its own fuckups) the human developer will rise again.
I'm not so sure about that. Kids need access to PCs in order to gain tech skills and they're trying hard to take that away.
That is true. Unfortunately also true is companies not hiring juniors anymore because AI does their jobs. The companies somehow believe seniors grow on trees or something.
The thought is that other companies can grow the seniors.
Doesn't fucking work when everyone's doing it but I can tell you that at least round me that was starting to happen even before AI. Maybe 10% of companies would hire juniors.
Now they're lobbying the government to be able to import seniors from developing countries because "we need better talent in our own country"
I would like to strangle some CEOs. And those aren't even big companies, this is Estonia not Silicon Valley lol
*after the ensuing recession...
"I'll be swimming in jobs if I don't starve first!"
Basically this. If the starving gets to intense, switching professions it will be.
What's the point of AI if you need qualified review?
Normally, speed. Especially if you aren't a picky writer; which you should be; for scenarios like this one.
Claude code even added an auto mode so that you don't get blocked by that pesky reviewing anymore. Since then, the usual mode of asking before running a command, for instance when the thing wants to read the entire codebase looking for information only available in an online doc, is now called manual mode; the non 10x developer mode.
As well as storing production credentials in plan text in an
.envfile..envfiles are wild to me, environment variables have never been a good way to pass data to applications, let alone secret data.So the solution people came up with was to store them in plain text next to the binary, and then have a loader apply them before running the main app.
