Thoughts on Replit? (lemmy.zip)

So some backstory here: I’m pretty much anti-AI, but I try to stay on top of things so I can make informed recommendations to leadership. Recently , they’ve come to me interested in using Replit “because it’s so easy” and they almost have a site built out how they want.

Besides the fact that it’s managed to blow up and nuke production, what are some pros/cons about it? I’m worried about things like BCDR, vulnerability scanning, separation of duties, etc. You know all the base things you should have in place too.

Pros: leadership wants to do your job. Chill out, let them do it, then laugh at them when it fails. You'll at least have a relaxing job up until they either fire you in their idiotic confidence or beg you for help.

Cons:

it's managed to blow up and nuke production

You know, I remember reading a similar story about AWS recently...
