*Are you vibe coding your way into a massive cloud billing nightmare?*AI agents are already writing code, reviewing ads, and making autonomous decisions. But who is actually watching them? In this episode, Leena sits down with Lulu, a data infrastructure expert who has scaled systems at Capital One, Block, and Reddit.They break down the "real talk" of scaling AI safely, why AI-generated code is breaking in production, and how a single unmonitored API key can cause a $20,000 disaster in less than 48 hours. If you are building with LLMs, this breakdown of infrastructure, guardrails, and cost-optimization will save your budget and your production systems.👇 *SUBSCRIBE* for more deep dives into the reality of engineering the AI boom.⏱️ Timestamps & Highlights
