Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I'd be curious to see how they defined "harmful" in their test, since it looks like Claude code's technically-not-yolo mode is looking for "actions that are irreversible, destructive, or targeted outside of your environment" which covers a lot of normal actions, especially depending on how you define which resources are in "your environment".
And yes, I'm sure that the fact that the flow of operations they're outline will massively increase the number of times that the system automatically retries things, this increasing token usage, is going to be fully accounted for when they review the financials on how many tokens people are paying for.
I think more than half the issues would be solved with a well placed
git stashand the rest .I was talking with a few friends last weekend who work at different companies, all of us have been getting a lot more trouble getting databricks and AWS spot instances over the last month. I think letting yolo mode of the leash means that they're slamming other systems also that normal people need for boring non-ai jobs. I just need to pull a sales report ffs. Its a literal god damn bot net.
