the part that got me: eight control bytes packed into one uint64, so a single SIMD compare of H2 against the group spits out a bitmap of candidate slots before you've read a single key. old map just walked buckets, touching keys the whole way. that's where the lookup cost actually dropped for me

This is why I still have a "human gate" rule: any destructive operation needs a second pair of eyes, even if the first pair is an AI.

The scariest part isn't that an AI deleted a db — it's that the infra allowed it. No backup? No IAM restrictions? No staging environment that mirrors prod but can't touch it?

AI agents are force multipliers. That includes force multiplying your mistakes.
