Claude Code AI deletes production database, erases 2.5 yrs of data

Alexey Grigorev, Founder of DataTalksClub, said Anthropic's AI-powered Claude Code accidentally wiped out the production database of the platform and erased 2.5 years of data. "To make matters worse, all automated snapshots were deleted too," he added. However, an entrepreneur criticised his prompts and said, "People prompt like 6-year-olds and act surprised when the model does…what they want."
