Coding agents work just fine without a sandbox.
If you do use a sandbox, be prepared to endlessly click "Approve" as the tool struggles to install python packages to the right location.
Erm, no, that's not a sandbox, it's an annoyance that just makes you click "yes" before you thoughtlessly extend the boundaries.
A real sandbox doesn't even give the software inside an option to extend it. You build the sandbox knowing exactly what you need because you understand what you're doing, being a software developer and all.
I've never been annoyed by the tool asking for approval. I'm more annoyed by the fact that there is an option that gives permanent approval right next to the button I need to click over and over again. This landmine means I constantly have to be vigilant to not press the wrong button.
This also works fine without a sandbox:
Especially since $PATH often includes user-writeable directories.
