I’m sure this is the moment that will give pause and encourage caution with LLMs going forward. Yes. This time people will learn.

From TFA:
“I have failed you completely and catastrophically,” Gemini CLI output stated. “My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence.”

Most accurate thing an LLM has ever vomited up

Fucking lmao this is the same level of idiocy as curling random shell scripts and piping them straight into bash
pupbiru@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
the same? idk i think this is worse… who does vibe coding, sees the huge number of errors AI makes and THEN is like “yeah sure i’ll pipe that straight into a prod DB shell”
random bash scripts from reputable projects at least work most of the time

Again, they were running dev tools in prod.
That’s a mistake so dumb, it’s actually in the ISO that tells you how not to be a fuck up.
You don’t run your dev tools in prod.

I would never admit this happened to me
I’m sure the number is higher than 2

Wait, does this mean the Replit case was actually real!? I was sure it was just a sketch or rage bait. I didnt think anybody could be that stupid…
tonytins@pawb.social 20 hours ago
It was real. The story itself certainly gives The Onion a run for their money.
Decq@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
It had such a GLaDOS vibe, so i thought it was a reference to that. I guess life really does imitate art.

Where have you been for the last 5 years?
And can I come wherever that was? Sounds blissful.

“Eleven times in all caps” is going to be my mental image for vibe coders for a very long time. It sounds too stupid to be real, but, I want to believe.

it’s either real, or the guy is really really sticking to the joke

Vive coder doesn’t even know git push? I think I don’t believe it.

A good craftsman never blames their tools
puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
Most tradespeople are responsible for choosing and maintaining their own tools. In a lot of cases it’s the foreman of this metaphor who is making the choice and should be taking the blame.
TeddE@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
On one hand, it’s very clear the tools are the core of the problem.
On the other hand, I don’t think I’ll be calling any vibe coders good craftsman any time soon.

If your product manager is capable of destroying your production data by accident with shitty ai code then you have fundamental infrastructure issues that made such data loss inevitable.

They are making the infrastructure with the same shitty AI code…
