Vibe coder: DO NOT DELETE THE DATABASE. DO NOT DELETE THE DATABASE. DO NOT DELETE THE DATABASE.
Chatgpt: All I heard was "delete the database" three times.
I remember my first day of my first professional programming job back in 1996. I had just learned SQL that morning (which I'd never even heard of before) and that afternoon I forgot to add a WHERE clause to a DELETE command. Good times ...
Fortunately this was in production and not in any important environment like development or test.
That's why I start my dangerous queries with a broken first word like
ELETE FROM table...and do a proofread before adding the D. Saves you from annoying mistakes either by stupidity or fat fingering the enter key.Always think twice before bringing the D.
