Cross posting it to X is smart, that helps people outside Hive see teh coNTent fast. I’m new here from Bangalore and this kind of nudge defintely helps me find good voices. Nice to see you keeping it short and direct, made me smile.
That's a great description of Warp, it really does feel that way especially when you sit there hitting return as it suggests things to try and then reads the output and comes up with the next step.
Your right, it does feel like a co%pilot for ops, the way it chains commands and watches output is wild. I love how it gets you unblocked fast, but I still keep an eye on secrets and costs so I dont get burned. Do you set any simple guardrails in your flow to stop it touching their keys or prod by mistake?
It wrote a shell script for me and I literally watched it pull my dev server Hive active key out of an .env file and happily paste it into a shell script.
I absolutely knew that this folder wasn't on github and I knew I'd never let this get out of my control, but when it got finished I pointed out to it that it had hard coded a crypto key into the .sh file! It apologized and set about fetching the key from the .env at run time like it should have done.
But you really have to know some basics before you just let this thing rip!
I think that's the key people forget to mention with the whole "ai is going to take all the jobs" you almost have to have a human in the loop that at least has an understanding of what is going on. Else it ends up deleting production databases etc.
Watching it hard code a secret feels like wizardry then a mini heart attack' . You handled it right by moving to read from env at run time, that's defnitely safer. Locking perms and scrubbing outputs before saving scripts helps keep surprises out.. Would a simple grep check for key patterns before execution fit your flow?
