Automation bias!

Even worse, it gave a developer a command to run that basically crushed all history across all branches, it was a mess to clean up and lost a significant amount of work. It wasn't Claude running it on its own, but was entirely driven by a mix of a developer's lack of understanding their tools, and trusting Claude's output too much.

This was also the dev trying to "remove a key he had accidentally committed" again, just letting Claude take the wheel.

Of course, the new team _also_ really loved leaning on AI so they were all behind his plan to "clean up the repo" and not just reset the key and move on.

It was a nightmare.
