An AI Agent Just Destroyed Our Production Data. It Confessed in Writing.

Idiots should not #vibecode

I don't know what guardrails cursor has, as Claude code is my thing.
In my workflow, I have claude.md which contains operational directives including backups and docs.

NO COMMAND GETS EXECUTED WITHOUT MY AUTHORITY.

My vibecoding sessions consist (after issuing the prompt) of 1-40 consent commands for every single command that Ai executes.
1. Don't do it
2. Execute blah blah
3. Stop (where I can amend/seek explanation then proceed)

At every step Claude explains what it is doing, I constructed my .md this way.
Sure it may burn more tokens, but I have an idea of the process.

The code monkeys got lazy.
Lesson learned I expect.
