I'm just trying to imagine this hypothetical company...

They run AI agents without checking what it's doing
They don't have backups or version control (or they've given AI access to delete it)

What else? Do they leave all their files in memory and only save at the end of the day to make sure a power outage could screw them over too?
It almost sounds like they want to lose their code.

It's not hypothetical anymore, Lately I've seen multiple companies running like this first hand.
Absolute clown show.
