> Pi is meant for people who know what they are doing
How many people genuinely know what they're doing when the value prop of Pi is basically to vibe code it to your taste? The entire point of vibe coding being that you don't actually have to know what you're doing?

if you know what you're doing your results will actually be good. what a dumb take.

That’s why Mario said “YOLO” is enabled by default from what I remember—something like, I want you to think about what you’re doing.

Not necessarily. I had almost no idea what I was doing when I started using Pi. The goal was to learn harness engineering and understand how it feels like thinking about things that are provided in other harnesses by default.
It took time to learn all of these before I managed to do something similarly useful as OpenCode, and now I am ready to use some sane defaults for things that I really know I need in Pi.
That said, sometimes it is really easy to leverage existing extensions. You run the risk of supply chain attack though. I installed one extension that was useful, modified it to my needs and pinned it.
