Not saying it's a vibe-coding issue. But I just imagine a scenario where a global service experiences significant disruption due to a vibe-coded release. No person understands how it works or is able to figure out in less than a week because no human has ever glanced at the code for a couple years, so the decision is taken to unleash LLM agents directly on production to fix the issue. Of course, one of these agents has to do some database migration but there is a breaking change, so they launch a sub-agent to deal with that; the sub-agent doesn't have a full context, so it decides that the easiest way would be to drop the database and so it does. The latest _successful_ backup took place a month ago.

$100B value down the drain.
