                  look at the codes

                  and everything you’ll lose
                  yeah, it was all errors

   Just found out Replit's slogan is (or was?) "vibe code, safely", and they boasted about it just 1 week ago. Karma is a bitch

   Their CEO, Amjad did post about it over the weekend.

   Kind of darkly ironic they announced 100M ARR in revenue (not sure if that's annualized, but whatevs) last week (only to have this blow up).

   @zachleat I simply would add “do not drop production databases” to the system prompt, it would be easy for me https://www.pcmag.com/news/apple-intelligence-prompts-warn-the-ai-do-not-hallucinate

      @mattdsteele this is why you’re a professional

   @zachleat The best part about this is that because it's non-deterministic you have no idea of knowing just _how likely_ it would be to drop the db.
