Fascinating

Cautionary tale as I’m quite experienced but have begun not even proofreading Claude Code’s plans

Might set it up in a VM and continue not proofreading

I only need to protect the host environment and rely on git as backups for the project

This happened to me long before LLM's. I was experimenting with Linux when I was young. Something wasn't working so I posted on a forum for help which was typical at the time. I was given a terminal command that wiped the entire drive. I guess the poster thought it was a funny response and everyone would know what it meant. A valuable life experience at least in not running code/commands you don't understand.
