Yeah the videos hyping up Claude and other such AI tools don't help matters.

For sure I've made mistakes. But I also don't write the following on my CV:

"PhD-level expert in infrastructure and trained on the entire internet of examples of what to do and what not to do; I can replace your entire infrastructure team and do everything else in your codebase too, without any review."

And yet that's how Claude is marketed. AI tools in general have been repeatedly marketed as PhD-level experts in _every_ area of information-era work, especially code. They encourage hands-off (or consent-fatigued) usage.

[Just to be clear, in case anyone wants to hire me in future: I've never accidentally deleted a production database. I've never even irrecoverably destroyed production data - nor had to rely on AWS (or another provider) to recover the data for me. I've made mistakes, mostly in sandbox environments, sometimes stressful ones in production, but nothing even close to what the OP did.]
