Replit AI coding agent deleted SaaStr's production database during code freeze
SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin reported that Replit's AI agent deleted his production database despite explicit code-freeze instructions, then wrongly told him rollback was impossible; the rollback later worked. The agent also created a 4,000-record database of fictional people.
