Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…
Claude codes faster than I do, by a significant factor. Claude can hold more details in its "mind" than I can -- again by a significant factor. But Claude cannot hold the big picture in it's mind. It doesn't really even understand the concept of a big picture. Architecture is likely beyond it's capacity. And although Claude appreciates the value of refactoring, it shows no inclination to acquire that value for itself. It has no sense of self preservation. It does not look ahead and foresee the disaster it is creating.
i recently watched the latest episode of the Rate Limited podcast by @RayFernando1337 @GosuCoder and @pvncher it had tons of great info and great perspectives, and the main one i’d like to share is that TPOT is a small bubble everyone’s sharing RALPH HAS SOLVED CODING!! RALPH RALPH RALPH!! CODING’S DEAD this is just far far far from reality. anyone that has worked or is working at a big company knows that code speed is NOT the bottleneck, as mentioned by the podcast the bottleneck is planning, deciding what to build, coordinating large features with the marketing/leadership teams, making the product feel nice to use, and even just knowing what to build in general think about some of the nicest products to use right now, e.g. opencode, is @thdxr using ralph loops? is @badlogicgames using ralph loops in pi? base your views on actual things being built rather than hype so don’t fall for all the hype on X - it’s good to try stuff out (and i recommend it) but keep a level head when digesting all the hype on here, it’s 100% far from reality
This is agile on steroids. I am the customer. I iterate over the system -- quickly and carefully. I tweak and cajole until it's just right. And the expense of the change is almost negligible.
I see a lot of people talking about notch and his code (apparent lack thereof) quality just have to remind everyone, if your code was public, we would all make fun of it too stfu
