I once ran rm -rf on a live NFS mount that the live operations of a major brokerage depended upon. I challenge any agent to do worse than an intern with root access. | ||

The point is to know better than to let the intern hurt themselves. I once saw an engineer try to place the blame on his intern for taking down prod. I was sitting in a meeting with the VP of engineering and someone asked if it was ok for some to blame their intern for the SEV, and I remember the VP saying "I'll talk to $director_for_the_interns_mentor". Interns can't take down prod. An intern's mentor willingly watching an intern take down prod is the closest you can get. | ||
