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.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

I do want to make sure we're being clear about this:

The Bluesky team maintains the same review, red-teaming, and QA processes that we always have. AI coding tools have been proving useful, but haven't changed the fundamental practices of good engineering. Human review and direction remain key.

Did you know that Node.js 22 has glob built in? No dependencies needed.

The trick was doing some user-agent sniffing to detect if it's a request from a link preview or if it's a browser. If it's a link preview request the endpoint will return an HTML page with custom meta tags, otherwise it redirects you to the puzzle of the day.

I completed the 5 in 02:56 Check out my crossword completion time!

I always wondered how NYTimes created custom link previews when sharing your solved Mini crossword time. Finally figured out a way to do it πŸŽ‰

Works with BlueSky, iMessage, Facebook, and LinkedIn that I know of.

Anyone know if there’s a way to debug link previews on BlueSky? Facebook, LinkedIn, etc have a share debugger tool that allows you to rescrape the metadata for a link, curious if BSky has something similar πŸ€”

Crashing out at how poorly npm (Microsoft) is handling this security incident. Eleventy is not affected any more but *lots* of other tools in the JavaScript ecosystem are!

Hours later and the compromised package versions are still public…

Maybe don’t install anything from npm today, folks.

Made some UI updates to my mini crossword game πŸ˜… Wanted something fun and cheesy and I think I got it.

I have some enhancements coming this week around clue and crossword cell behavior. There's a bit of awkwardness that needs some smoothing.

Then, onto storing stats πŸš€
