Sure, that's a very, very robust way of doing things. And I'm not trying to say what you're describing is wrong either. I'm just saying that some places don't have the knowledge/ability to set things up that way, so they play fast and loose with prod access. Couple that with giving LLMs free reign over the computer with those prod settings, and you end up in situations like in the original post.

It's not unrealistic, is all I'm trying to claim. It's a failure on several levels, but it's not unrealistic.

I didn't say it was unrealistic it's just stupid. I have no doubt thousands of companies are not practicing good access controls to a production db, but it's not smart as seen by this post.
