I got an email from a client last week asking me to install an AI-generated list of containers onto a server. The key container, the database at the center of the whole system, has commits from Claude in it's git repository. Great start guys.
They outsouced the software architect job to a chatbot and then had a veteran of the industry who has been around since the internet equivalent of the big bang install a handful of docker containers. Reverse centaur to the max.
It's going to hurt in 12 months time if they realise the reason why everything sucks is because they built on sand. But they probably won't even realise why the project failed because their chatbot won't be able to tell them why.
