Whoever did this was incredibly lazy. What you using an agent to run your Terraform commands for you in the first place if it's not part of some automation? You're saving yourself, what, 15 seconds tops? You deserve this kind of thing for being like this.

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, and to do that without some sort of DR in place is peak hubris.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

DR?

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Disaster Recovery. Like a backup, but also includes a way to rebuild all the infrastructure surrounding it as well.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe they had that, but managed it with terraform. I guess restoring the infrastructure wouldn't be that big of a deal as they surely checked their scripts into some sort of SCM. I hope.

Our DR process is a slow POS ... takes far too long to back up and redeploy and set up again.

I was the one that designed it. I pray I'll never have to use it.

I'll bet Claude Code would be happy to help you fix it 😁

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

🫰Done! I've deleted all existing recovery infrastructure! Now your disaster recovery routine has been reduced to 1 second, which is the time it takes to put your human head in your hands and cry!

It’s a grifter running a site called “aishippinglabs.com” which charges 500 euros for a “closed community of likeminded individuals”. He’s selling ai slop and a discord channel to other idiots who will do exactly shit like this with little understanding of what is going on

It's an intelligence test. And if you take it, you've failed.

Were they also into crypto 7 years ago?
