Neither of these (yours and other commenter) points drive anything home. Both involve an experienced dev dealing with systems they understand, avoiding "issues" due to being experienced. I say again, show me the actual accidental catastrophe caused by a novice using agentic coding tools. You take for granted the barrier to entry here. You take for granted what a colossal minority we are in, those of us who use these tools. What a minority it is to even have ever opened a CLI to install something. And even then, the self risk factor is so miniscule. There are fools (admittedly ill-advised even from my perspective) who have their claudes on ralph loops for days... and theyre all doing... just fine.
