It can suggest terminal commands and ask you to execute them
People were already blindly copy pasting commands from StackExchange answers, but at least those are moderated. I wonder how long it takes before someone nukes their project or root directory.
- ddalex 2y agonuke a project or root is the best case scenario
- snapcaster 2y agoThe likely case is that it almost never does anything harmful. I've never once seen an LLM tell me to run rm -rf /
- conradfr 2y agoThat's why you need Jetbrains local history feature.
- why-el 2y ago> "ask you" I get the concern, however. But, short of nuking the actual .git directory, the upsides are worth it, in my opinion. Cursor offers filtering via a mini-prompt in its YOLO mode, so does Windsurf. The idea is killer, it allows it to progressively build and also correct its own errors. e.g. Cursorrules can be told to run tests after a feature is generated, or typecheck, or some other automated feedback-loop your codebase offers. That's pretty neat! Better yet, setup a dev container first. Then, at most, your local DB is the only concern. If still paranoid (as you should be), suspend your network while the agent is working. :D
