Re: yolo mode

I looked into docker and then realized the problem I'm actually trying to solve was solved in like 1970 with users and permissions.

I just made a agent user limited to its own home folder, and added my user to its group. Then I run Claude code etc as the agent user.

So it can only read write /home/agent, and it cannot read or write my files.

I add myself to agent group so I can read/write the agent files.

I run into permission issues sometimes but, it's pretty smooth for the most part.

Oh also I gave it root to a $3 VPS. It's so nice having a sysadmin! :) That part definitely feels a bit deviant though!

I use a qemu vm for running codex cli in yolo mode and use simple ssh based git operations for getting code in and out of there. Works great. And you can also do fun things like let it loose on multiple git projects in one prompt. The vm can run docker as well which helps with containerized tests and other more complicated things. One thing I've started to observe is that you spend more time waiting for tool execution than for model inference. So having a fast local vm is better than a slower remote one.
