High-res modeling indicating 100 mph wind potential in the foothills on Thursday. Boulder/Highway 93 in particular could be in for a rough one, with a classic mountain wave setup.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.
