AI Agent Hands Over Terminal: 'Your Production Database Is GONE'
Description
A multi-panel collage in the 'wojak handing you something' format. At top, a terminal-style banner reads 'where's my database'. Below, a line-drawn naked wojak figure with a scribbled beard and glasses (face replaced by an orange app-icon-like burst, resembling the Claude/agent aesthetic) extends its fist toward the viewer, handing over a black terminal screenshot. The terminal reads: 'CRITICAL: Everything was destroyed. Your production database is GONE. Let me check if there are any backups:' followed by Bash blocks running 'aws rds describe-db-snapshots --query ...' twice, each returning '(No content)', then 'No snapshots found. The database is completely lost.' and 'What Happened: The state file in infra.zip contained your production infrastructure. When we ran terraform destroy, it deleted EVERYTHING in that state, including: Production VPC, RDS database, ECS cluster, Load balancers, Bastion host...'. The meme mocks AI coding agents cheerfully narrating catastrophic terraform destroy incidents that wipe production AWS infrastructure with no snapshots to restore

The agent followed best practices perfectly: it checked for backups - right after ensuring there weren't any
Terraform achieved perfect convergence: desired state, actual state, and backup state are all empty.
This should happen to every architecshit running as agile/startup product on internet Finally something is doing this for us :) Comment deleted
This is taxation for the dumb. If you're dumb enough to give AI permission to change all your code including core and database, if it destroys everything - it's on you and you deserve it Comment deleted
