@arstechnica if an employee has write privilege to production environment without some kind of manial review required, firing is the last of your problems
@arstechnica Is there some anxiety going around about disgruntled tech folks?
I can't imagine why with all of us being forced to destroy the world with LLMs or simply go hungry.
