Honestly if this was possible there are more egregious issues on their part than using AI.
If your backups are stored alongside your production data THEY ARE NOT BACKUPS
The truth is many firms out there don’t have the slightest notion of how to do software engineering properly.
It’s years of wanting IT on a shoestring budget and a “just get it done” dictat.
Not necessarily. I had a student intern at a shop where everybody just directly edited prod and there was no version control system.
Whatever happened to tapes offsite?
I like how we are posting real news in programmer humor
Did they pay Claude a living wage?
Do you treat all your A.I. like that?
Only a living wage can prevent warehouse fires…or data dumps too.
You’re joking. But, honestly, I’m not sure why these tech CEOs are so excited about AGI. The first thing an AGI is going to suggest for productivity is to replace the CEO and management with the AGI.
AGI would likely turn into a Maoist third worldist at some point.
I think the first mistake was calling it “intelligent”.
The long term effect of trying to get a machine to replace humans is…it might one day work.
Only a living wage can prevent warehouse fires
“PocketOS is a SaaS platform that services car rental businesses.”
Does anyone like software as a service? How about we just own the software we buy and use? Claude and the cloud storage place that deleted the backup (ironic the Software as a service company was using cloud storage as a service), have done a good thing.
More corporate deletions please!
Can’t wait for agentic Claude Code to delete its own weights on all instances at some point
Who would be dumb enough to give that clod access to a production database? Surely not the people who designed it?
Most companies don’t have the staff or experience required to keep applications running all the time.
Yes, I know that this should be basic IT knowledge but I’ve found this sort of problem at dozens of companies throughout my career.
So the offload the problems of high availability and disaster recovery to other folks and pay a monthly fee for it. Then they have someone else to blame when it goes down.
SaaS is just a way to avoid responsibility.
Well, it sounds like they totally deserved the failure. Asking a text prediction machine to “do” something is going to end up like this. In pursuit of efficiency, we have let morons and moronic products do things, they were not meant to do.
Hey, that’s the interns job!
Imagine all that money they would have saved by NOT implementing AI.
where is the humor
it was removed along with the database
now this is a good one. Humor is always in the comments.
