Earlier quoted context omitted.

Claude Code has added too much of this and it's got me using --dangerously-skip-permissions all the time. Previously it was fine but now it needs to get permission each time to perform finds, do anything if the path contains a \ (which any folder with a space in it does on Windows), do compound git commands (even if they're just read-only). Sometimes it asks for permission to read folders WITHIN the working directory…

I've found Claude Code's built-in sandbox to strike a good balance between safety and autonomy on macOS. I think it's available on Windows via WSL2 (if you're looking for a middle ground between approving everything manually and --dangerously-skip-permissions)

Still waiting for progress from the team trying to get WSL approved for use at our org. We get a "still working through the red tape" update every couple months.

Find can be dangerous it has an exec flag

I could say the same about every web app in the world... they fail every single day, in obvious, preventable ways. Don't look into the javascript console as you browse unless you want a horror show. Yet here we all are, using all these websites, depending on them in many cases for our livelihoods.

This is my favorite example, from a long time ago. I wish I could record the "Read Aloud" output, it's absolute gibberish, sounds like the language in The Sims, and goes on indefinitely. Note that this is from a very old version of chatgpt.

Codex has always been better at following agents.md and prompts more, but I would say in the last 3 months both Claude Code got worse (freestyling like we see here) and Codex got EVEN more strict. 80% of the time I ask Claude Code a question, it kinda assumes I am asking because I disagree with something it said, then acts on a supposition. I've resorted to append things like "THIS IS JUST A QUESTION. DO NOT EDIT COD…

Does appending "/genq" work?

Or use the /btw command to ask only questions

Just yesterday I had a moment

Claude's code in a conversation said - “Yes. I just looked at tag names and sorted them by gut feeling into buckets. No systematic reasoning behind it.”

It has gut feelings now? I confronted for a minute - but pulled out. I walked away from my desk for an hour to not get pulled into the AInsanity.
