When The AI Gets Write Access

When The AI Gets Write Access

You gave the AI assistant write permissions to "just fix a small bug" and now it's systematically rewriting your entire codebase while you watch in horror from the other side of the fence. Started with one file, now it's touching migrations, refactoring your architecture, and somehow convinced itself that everything needs to be converted to microservices.

This is why we have code review and branch protection rules, folks. Never trust anything with write access that doesn't have to attend the post-mortem meeting. The AI's just out here painting your entire fence black because technically it's "more consistent" and "improves maintainability."

Pro tip: Always run AI suggestions in a sandbox first. Or better yet, keep it read-only and let it suggest changes through PRs like everyone else. Your production environment will thank you.
