Am I the only person who just runs claude code in yolo mode? Curious about these tools for fine-grained permission, did you get burned in a bad way? I think I'm going to trigger half of hacker news with this, but honestly nothing claude does on my machine seems particularly scary, and it's way too far from AGI for me to worry about hostile takeover right now =P

Side question... how much is it costing you to run Claude Code on a regular basis?

I'm not a heavy user by any means. I use it for project setup and routine-but-hard-to-automate refactoring, package upgrades, config files, fiddly stuff like that, for which it has been awesome. For me it's ~$30/mo.

"Scary" doesn't need to mean Skynet taking over, it could just mean that Claude decides to yolo install a library with malware in it.

Yeah, that's fair, but in this particular case I have instructions to avoid dependencies unless absolutely necessary and that works well. It's not a risk I'm super worried about.

Honest question: What could it do to your machine if it went crazy? I've not used Claude Code yet.

Anything your user has permissions to do, basically. It is absolutely possible to cause serious issues with it in yolo mode, but for me the risk seems acceptably low.

I just rub it in Docker to limit folder access and prevent it from being able to push to my remote repo. Indestructible.

Not a bad idea, thanks.

There’s an infinitesimal chance that it’ll p0wn your repo.

There’s a strong chance it will remove your web service auth filter chain to make an integration test pass.

I was thinking that on this, folks need a cron task to run a trivial prompt at 5-6am and get that 5hr timer running so that it the majority of the quota is available in the working day morning, and then a new 5hr block starts around lunch time. This should maximise use of included tokens by a standard work day spanning 3 blocks rather than 2

It hard resets limits every 5 hours instead of a sliding window?

That’s what their usage warning prompts seem to indicate.

I use their official dev container config and limit access to a small list of domains too

FYI: Claude Code was just added to the Pro Plan ($20/month). I just switched. My usage was roughly the same.

Not all paid plans, just Max. Pro doesn’t get access to Claude Code.

This changed recently (like a day ago or so), pro has access to Claude code now. They mention it's for "light coding work" on the pro plan: https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11145838-using-cla...

Also Sonnet only, no Opus. That being said it lets you use the included stuff and easily switch to metered if you need to use a different model or you burn through your included allotment.
