Share stories of the dumbest people alive trying to vibe code products without the slightest clue how anything works.

This keeps happening, but I'll start with the latest one I saw on X.

This is why you never go for the on-demand gimmicks and rates. Explicitly buy concrete infrastructure. Pay per hour. If anything gets compromised your server crashes and you restart it, the end.

obv. the 'Account Manager' is going to 'insist' it should be paid. But I can't see them trying to enforce this - same as Adobe, the fuck they'll go near a court, otherwise, some Judge might tell them, on the record, exactly how enforceable their trash really is. Maybe bit tricky getting another G. account in future, but for $82k, you'll take that.

I'm an intern who is currently being on boarded to a full time position. Some of the actual employees have been complaining to me that the other interns are useless because all they do is prompt LLMs without thinking and all their code is unusable. I'm the only intern being hired that I've heard of in a 2 year span and I'm also the only one who doesn't use any AI generated code.
I'm very excited for the day when all the vibe coders realize that they didn't learn any of the fundamentals that would have gotten them a job.

Exactly. There is no incentive for cloud providers to put in caps/usage limits. It would be a very easy thing to do to add a setting that says do not exceed $x dollars in usage and just shutdown when limit reached.
Omitting that setting and having some users getting unexpected charges results in more money for the cloud provider even if most of those affected users don't end up paying it all.

I don't think you guys understand how insanely fucked the Gemini situation is.

Up until just the other day you could use things like Google maps API keys (which are not secrets and are sent inline with your sites HTML) to do Gemini queries due to a (surprisingly retarded) security policy Google came up with.

You could do everything right and just because you're paying Google money suddenly out of nowhere people can run up bills on your account.

It's wild to me anyone touches this garbage.

In 90% of these cases, the customers didn't configure the extremely cheap, often free, alerting/notification system when cost goes over a certain threshold, and more often then not there are automated blockers that will prevent any further compute over a threshold. Deserved for being retards
>>
>>108286607
>why aren't there any limits to <spending money>
That's a great question, surely Google would benefit from not charging money. Alternatively imagine if you were a business and relied on the service to make money, then suddenly your fucking product stops working because you hit some limit.

I've been just using the free website interfaces like z.ai's with no sign-up, or a email tied to a fake name through proton if need be, and none of the freaky shit I've asked from AI was CSAM stuff. I can't imagine the clowns using their credit cards or bank accounts or phone numbers to sign up for this stuff and generate CSAM. Whatever happened to operational security?
>>
>>108289210
>Whatever happened to operational security?

>>108289207
does it not run on their normal compute VM infra? I'm only really familiar with AWS but if I'm running an EC2 I can setup an alert at certain thresholds of usage, I/O ops, cost, etc. and can easily set maximum spend limits where it will simply shut the instance down if reached. Hard to believe GCP doesn't have something similar available as most of these limits are also available within AWS Bedrock which is their AI suite
>>
>>108289275
I'm just a prooompter, but I always get fucked because I constantly underestimate Gemini token usage and Google takes over a day to show it in the billing center.

The problem with "block access at 100x the typical spend" is that it doesn't align with how real life works.
A business going live shouldn't have their account blocked, the increase in spending is precisely what they want.
A car driving 1000km shouldn't suddenly stop just because you went on your first trip.
The account owner has the option to enforce spending limits because they are the only one who could possibly know what their future plans are.
These idiots in OP wouldn't be complaining if their application suddenly got 10M users and had the same exact bill.

The issue is that it you start with it asking permission each time, but then it starts doing some dumb tool call like reviewing files individually and you need to press ok each time.

>>
>>108292040
Azure doesn't either AFAIK. The official reason I've been told is that business would rather get a bill than have their websites becoming inaccessible should there be a surge of customers.
>>
>>108286590
I still don't understand how these cloud faggots can get away with a seemingly open ending billing well beyond the average usage and not get into legal trouble. it's total bait and switch, especially when it's usually erroneous usage.

>>108288951
On GCP configuring something like alerts for budget is pointless, because it will be delayed by a day or more, hours in best-case.
Proper way would be to run something like Cloud Functions with a proper set of IAM permissions, which will react to API usage spikes in logs and shut-down API completely. But that is not free, of course.
Still retarded than GCP does not have native built-in budget limiters in billing section, where you can explicitly set your budget for specific cloud service and the thing will just hard shut-down the service when limit is exhausted.

If you had a web service, what would you do?

Then again, do they want a lot of small timers that will require a lot of management and support to deal with, or a few whales that don't can afford to foot whatever bill they receive? They must have calculated that it was more profitable this way.
>>
we have GCP at company i work at and it's such a piece of shit i'm on the retard's side this time.
you can't set any budget limits, it takes 24h+ for updates on usage and google themselves basically leaked thousands of API keys few weeks ago
API keys in GCP are so fucking retarded since they're always visible unlike usual PaaS tokens where you get 1 chance to save it. moreover they're always project-scoped so when you add people to a project they can't have their own keys and can look up the value of existing keys at all time.

Isn't that a daily occurence with anything cloud related? AFAIK none of the providers offer hard spending caps, but they usually waive huge costs caused by accidents.

It's not even when going live. Your product suddenly starts trending in Reddit/Instagram/etc? You want everyone in your shop buying them instead of serving them nothing because your servers can't cope with the load and your cloud platform autocaps your spending.

Why the fuck do they never design a fallback for when reaching the service limit set before, so their product cannot explode.
The still unfixed Google API token issue is fatal indeed in a context where LLMs cannot deal with nested logic.
