lmao, I watched Claude write a bash file that: rm rf'd my HOME file. I'm good on all of this for a while.
I'm curious - what did you ask it to do?
They asked it to rm rf their HOME file, clearly.. /s

What? It's nothing. I know people burning that in a day when paying on a per token basis.

#14> Instead of wrestling with Markdown formatting, Claude creates the document, helps formulate thoughts, and tests that everything displays correctly.
Are... are you serious? Markdown formatting? The formatting standard that's designed to be essentially plain text?

No, you did not. Stop trolling.

#16Kind of reminds me of the days when people claimed they paid for their entire lifestyle in Bitcoin.

Saw a good vibe coding meme along the lines of the agent after having trouble with the db wanting to "start from scratch" drop all tables lol

#19That’s not a “calculated risk.” It’s just a risk.
I don’t see how the OP is paying enough attention to know that terrible things are not happening. Sure, he can roll back, but that only works well for obvious problems that he catches in time.
I haven’t heard that it is inherently dangerous to use popular tools of the normal sort without carefully scrutinizes every output. But there are many horror stories about the unreliability of LLMs.

#20The backup part is the crucial piece here. If you have reasonable guard rails for your AI, you can throw much more at it. Let it write tests before implementing something, ensure the code is in version control before promoting a change, etc.
Aside, I tried to move my ~/Code folder (where all my programming projects and work live) into the macOS iCloud folder so that everything would auto-sync.
But the constant Git churn created a lot of traffic and collisions in that folder. And when I googled it, apparently it's just not a good idea to sync Git projects in iCloud.
I really want to easily sync my folders so that I can just get a new macbook and recreate my environment.
Anyone have any tips?
