I don't get these posts. I'm using claude --dangerously-skip-permissions all day and haven't had a single issue. In my experience it doesn't just randomly start erasing your hard drives. Also having a proper CLAUDE.md probably helps.

I understand some of the motivation for this post but in my view it's exaggerated because Claude code does a good job asking for permissions and in the (reasonable)worst case you can probably get an old state from github. If for some reason Claude (or someone) wants to take over your whole system I'm not sure if Dockers would stop it

  Correct. The number of times I’ve had Claude ask permission to rm -rf paths with .. elements is more than zero.

    I have in fact had Claude (running on Cursor) do the equivalent of rm -rf /. It happens.

You ignore safety features unless you have already experienced disaster? Do you wear a seat belt? Run all commands as root? The history of computing says that everything is a porous security boundary just waiting for a motivated individual to attack it. Defense in layers, especially in the wild west of AI where everybody is playing move fast and break things at breakneck speed.

Some people never create backups and they never had a problem either.
