What I learned building an opinionated and minimal coding agent

You’ll just end up approving things blindly, because 95% of what you’ll read will seem obviously right and only 5% will look wrong. I would prefer to let the agent do whatever they want for 15 minutes and then look at the result rather than having to approve every single command it does.

Works until it has access to write to external systems and your agent is slopping up Linear or GitHub without you knowing, identified as you.

Sure; I mean this is what I _would like_; I’m not saying this would work 100% of the time.
