Anecdote: As a hapless junior engineer I once did something extremely similar.
I ran a declarative coding tool on a resource that I thought would be a PATCH but ended up being a PUT and it resulted in a very similar outcome to the one in this post.
Yeah that's the typical junior engineer scenario right? Run a command that wasn't meant to be destructive but accidentally destroy something. This is different. AI agent went on some kind of wild goose chase of fixing problems, and eventually the most probable token sequence ended up at "delete this database". This is more like if your senior engineer with extreme ADHD ate a bunch of acid before sitting down to work.
