My mind is blown every time I read that a major company has unleashed an “AI Agent” on production systems and code. Like, did everyone in the IT industry suddenly grow stupid and forget the most basic rule? Always sandbox and test. You never ever fuck around on production systems!

I guess setting up a test environment would take too much time and these chucklefucks must move faster and break more stuff.

IT loses the battle when the C suite says “do it now”.
IT Ops Manager here. I was told by C Suites I was becoming “difficult to work with” in my attempt to slow and control the constant deployment of AI into every aspect of the husiness.
You ever get tempted to let them just shove it in everything so the can see what ‘difficult to work with’ actually means?
Company recently got acquired by a private equity firm so I have stopped acting as the adult whilst I wait for the call to let me know my services are no longer needed.
