anyone with twenty years of devops experience is likely to abhor Diallo's hot take and for good reason.

AI is being sold as a developer, as it is being sold as the do-everything alternative to traditional processes and methods. it is not being sold as an intern or a junior, but a real developer.

turning the tables and gaslighting devops professionals into believing the issue isnt an emerging technology with overwhelmingly heavy handed marketing and profitless operating strategy thats been shoehorned into seemingly everything and promises anything, but somehow their own oversight, will destroy whatever "vibe code" market you think you have at the cusp of a global recession.

had this AI been a real programmer chances are great they would have (intelligently) foreseen the possibility of damaging a production environment and asked for help.

to play devils advocate: you could hire a junior dev for a fourth of whatever the AI token spend is, and have likely avoided this issue entirely. sure, a greybeard is going to need to pull themselves away from some fierce sorting algorithm challenge for a second to give a wisened nod, but you would have saved yourself an inexorable amount of headache and profit loss in the longer run.
