The difference is, a junior employee knows that killing prod is bad. An LLM doesn't know anything.

- blihp 3y agoDon't be so sure that all, or even most, junior employees know any such thing. I've seen junior employees fired for doing silly things in prod before[1] [1] Of course whatever more senior bozo granted the junior the rights to blow up the thing(s) they did should have been fired instead. That's not the way things work in the corporate world.
- gopher_space 3y agoI like getting juniors into situations where they can blow up a db since it's the perfect introduction to backups.

Their actions and the consequences of their actions are what everyone else actually cares about
