(This isn't vibes: they're red-teaming Auto mode heavily)
Considering I went through a phase before I started using Claude Code where I'd eventually reach a point where I'd mindlessly approve ridiculously long command chains, I believe this.
As the article writes: "many users are clicking through reflexively rather than reviewing each command".
It's far better (for my working style, anyway) to have some external isolation/sandboxing, but leave the actual command approval to LLM.
According to them - for things they care about.
Their profit motive is in NOT improving that, and luring you to depend all the more automatically to Claude.
1. Metrics show auto or YOLO mode users have higher retention
2. Company intentionally doesn’t invest in manual mode
