> failure akin to - "if a junior dev accidentally

This person was not a junior.

He chose to use the AI tools knowing that they hallucinate.

The comparisons to an untrained junior are illogical. This person was a long time reporter who knew better.

Even a senior dev being able to unilaterally delete your prod entirely should not be possible.

But I don't think the intention was to compare with junior devs, its just a popular shorthand for "your process sucks".

    Junior was said specifically.

    A better analogy would be if one of your staff engineers decided to connect OpenClaw to his workspace and it found a way to delete the production DB.

    The author was an AI reporter. You can’t argue that he didn’t know what he was doing when he made these choices. Any comparisons involved junior devs are just dishonest.

      I was using a common "phrase" that highlights individual human error vs systemic failures

      Since you are stuck on the semantics allow me to rephrase - "if a single developer is able to delete your entire production db, that's an org failure"
