"Hey Claude, where's my database?": How an AI agent nuked production

Alexey Grigorev teaches Terraform in his courses. That didn't stop an AI agent from running terraform destroy against his live production database. He walks through the outage with unusual candor, refuses to blame the AI, and explains the guardrails and trade-offs that separate moving fast from losing everything.

Every pilot is ready for engine failure: are your engineers?

Every pilot who's never had an engine failure is still ready for one. The same can't be said for most software engineers facing their first major incident. How can we bridge that gap?
