The problem with Claude code is it doesn’t let you walk away. You have to press yes yes yes yes yes yes yes 500 times. Glad it’s missing until they fix this.

Or you stick it in docker. Or actually configure your permissions. RTFM

Oh. I thought they had fixed it. Nothing new. CC still not ready for prime time.

I really need to try giving it a $100 month. Really not sure it's worth it, but if i'm less concerned about throttling or cost it might be more fun, interesting, etc.

It makes a psychological difference, yeah. I'm happy now just throwing any whim at it. For instance, I've been meaning for years to fix my disks, since every new computer just has me put the old drives into it, plus the new ones. Prior to the consolidation I had Claude do, oldest was from 2007 (good job, Western Digital 20 years ago). I had Claude write a plan on how to move files my most recent spinning disks, and a…

That's impressive. Can you share a little more about the organization of files you requested? Like for example gather photos maybe ordered by device, year and month, mp3s based on genre, year, etc.? What was the output script language? I would definitely need something like that.

Small update, i ended up purchasing. So far it's been pretty productive. I'm avoiding using it for work that i find complex or vague, as it's more difficult to explain it and constrain it to what i want than just doing it myself.

However so far it's been amazing at doing grunt work. Especially grunt work i've been avoiding. "I've" already gotten a handful of things done that i've been pushing off the a year.

One issue i have noticed is i need to figure out how to more quickly toggle the level of thinking. I've used to some Opus credits on grunt work, it would be nice if the system could just automatically use Sonnet for easier grunt stuff.
