Depends what you mean with "agents"... LLMs in coding harnesses, or fully autonomous agents?

If you mean the former, I think you'll find probably 90% of devs are "crazy", running Claude Code or Codex on their bare metal using the auto-classifier.

I used to always run claude with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` in a dev container, but I had to rebuild my container 10 times a day to update the firewall so it can access documentation.

Now I find the included auto-classifier is very reliable. If you keep tasks contained instead of open-ended long-horizon work, it doesn't seem much goes wrong with frontier models. The worst unintended action claude did for me in the past months is that it once discarded an unstaged file which wasn't committed yet, without asking.

But I realize it's still playing with fire, no matter how good the auto-classifier is.
