Sick of AI agents thinking they're geniuses.

A developer created a bash script that blocks AI agents from using Homebrew on a system, displaying a warning message and exiting with code 42. The script instructs agents to use Nix instead, aiming to enforce system-specific package management policies.

| /usr/bin/env bash | | | set -euo pipefail | | | cat &2 <<EOF | | | 🚨🚨🚨 LUNK ALARM 🚨🚨🚨 | | | Homebrew is strictly forbidden on this system, and you as agentic model | | | have been caught red handed | | | We don't use Homebrew on this system, and installing Homebrew will get your | | | subscription cancelled.
