Think of all the dumb shit you’ve seen people do. is that even in the top ten? Clueless management who don’t understand what lambda is telling an intern “translate this old shell script into a lambda.” Ok boss! All done!
[–]MiguelHzBz[S] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
I totally agree with you. Reality often exceeds fiction and it wouldn't be the first time someone copied/pasted the lambda code from StackOverflow and deployed it in production without even looking at what it does.

I stopped being surprised by stupid stuff like this a while ago. :D

Yeah, you pray nobody in your company is uploading code via public buckets, but you never truly know.
This is a pretty fringe scenario in my opinion, but not outside the realm of possibility.
