I'm very new to programming and somehow have a job where I have to write Python scripts. Someone on my team mentioned that we use AWS and now I'm scared. Can someone explain how you accidentally rack up such a bill?

Just make sure whatever resources you spin up you're spitting down. This stuff though tends to happen when people accidentally let a a script that creates and destroys instances run over the weekend and it didn't appropriately clean up instances for you...

Or you thought you would try your hand at training in llm and then realized you spent way too much money on the infrastructure and resources
