Junior dev panics because they might've just nuked the production database containing critical user data. Senior dev's solution? Just casually reset the rate limits so nobody notices the API is now serving absolutely nothing. Problem solved! Well, not really—but at least the users can fail faster now.

This is the kind of "support" where instead of actually fixing the catastrophic mistake, you just create a different kind of chaos. It's like your house is on fire and your friend hands you a bigger fan. The Claude API reference makes it even better—because nothing says "we care" like letting users spam requests to a broken system.

The real lesson here? Backups, people. Always have backups. And maybe don't give junior devs DELETE permissions on production tables. Just a thought.
