Similar story here , but started mine when first Android phones were released. Had great success. And still have. Now with AI I have 2 max accounts with Claude and I don't touch any code anymore. I went full high risk cowboy style. All code. Server management, databases, security, upgrades, root access. Access to all my accounts, keys, hashes all goes into my prompts. Everything with ai. I don't even go to the Playstore site to publish. The only thing I touch is my terminal with Claude instances and opencode, Gemini or codex as backups.

That's bold! Full AI-driven, including deploys and server access – respect for going all in.

Curious how you handle when AI makes mistakes on production systems?

		I think I now went all in about 2, 3 months ago. It does make a lot of mistakes and its cowboy style 4.0. I cant remember a case were everything became a broken chaos. I think the AI does a much better job in maintaining my machines than i could do. Its able to configure low level stuff like fail2ban, iftables perfectly fine. Its much better in reading logs or solving issues. Once in a while it makes a mistake, like misconfiguring firewal rules and lock me out. All solvable issues. Software wise its also better. Yes you are prompting in circles sometimes. But thats fine. Usually it will fix the issue I have after a few iterations. Its not so much different that normal development, but on a higher level. You are dealing with a senior developer behaving like a child.
