Because our team owns that AWS account. There is no hard restriction on me firing up any AWS service to solve a software engineering problem. This account has a number of servers and other things that run all of our code doing various things.
You can, in just a few clicks, run up $20k (and $100k+) in spend. Which is why you are policed on it.

They probably have Nessus or something running a canned DNS attack surface scan.
It can be a real vulnerability - i.e. you have a CNAME of company.com pointing to myshit.s3.amazon.com, but deleted the myshit bucket. Someone could theoretically take the "myshit" name and then your CNAME will resolve to their potentially malicious bucket or whatever.

Here's a new one for ya.
One of my offboarding tasks is to setup an AI Agent version of myself for the org. What does this mean? I have absolutely no idea. Best I can figure just keep writing documentation like you would normally do on the way out and spend time writing down all of the institutional knowledge I can remember and feed it to the Agent. Then hope for the best.
The future is wild. I suspect y'all should get used to this.

That illustrates pretty well why I want to get out of this industry. The idea that all of your knowledge, experience and skills can be input into an AI agent and it will be like a clone of you. And it can be done as an offboarding task!
It doesn't matter that it's not possible, the idea itself is laughable, and the people asking are delusional. People, in general, honestly think we are that easily replaceable. Soon it won't even be an ask as an offboarding task, they'll just blatantly ask people to try and create AI versions of themselves so they can be laid off.
This isn't necessarily an issue exclusive to software development. It's just more prevalent.
I'm already very tired of listening to people say things like "My nephew used AI to create an App on the Google Play store and it's already made $2k in 3 months!" and having them genuinely think that means that anyone can be a software developer and create enterprise level applications by just asking AI to "code".

That has always been the case when they ask you to integrate AI into your daily tasks.

I guess technically that's true if the end goal is automation (and the end goal is probably automation). But to actually ask a person outright to create an "AI clone" of themselves is pretty blatant. If it wasn't so depressing it would be comical.

Always assume the worst when it comes to corporations. You will usually be right and only be scratching the surface of the horrible shit they are doing. They are entities literally born to service the infinite depths of human greed and depravity.
