If you give an LLM any trust at all to write or execute production bound operations without human review, then anything bad that happens is -your- fault. I forgive occasional human error, but a human handing off prod control to a third party or an LLM is unforgivable.

If I found out a privileged engineer was brain dead enough to let LLMs anywhere near prod, I would fire them on the spot, and seriously examine an interview and training process that allowed someone that stupid prod access in the first place. I will not even work at an org that lets vibe coding Apple fanboy types near prod as it is a mess waiting to happen I am going to be expected to clean up. Might as well hand a child a chainsaw.

In orgs where I lead infra, I do not let anyone near prod unless they have a deep knowledge of Linux internals, system calls, etc and decade or more of experience running and debugging Linux on their own homelabs and workstations. By that point they have enough experience to be more capable than any LLM anyway and would never think of reaching for one.
