For me it sounds good.
For Anthropic it might increase load and make them less money but give them better KPIs.
I would love Claude Code to be a little less vibe-coded. The underlying model is excellent, but we're being pretty much forced into using CC to use the subscription model.
The most recent one that's had me annoyed is the "Fullscreen" TUI feature, which is super unintuitive, implementing its own text highlighting and copy-on-select mechanics, overriding your terminal's native right click. Easy to disable but terrible defaults, IMO. It's not even really clear to me what problem it was actually supposed to solve.
There are situations when I want Claude to start working on something just as I'm about to head to bed or otherwise step away. It's kind of annoying to come back only to find that Claude worked for just 5 minutes and then decided to pause and ask a question.
That said, I think certain types of questions should not be automatable. Maybe it's already built that way, but I wouldn't want Claude to go with its recommended direction for anything related to operations like deletions, changing external systems, etc. Basically, things that cannot be undone should be a hard-block and wait for user input always.
Right now the interests align, but as soon as more tokens -> more profit (instead of more revenue and more loses) the perverse incentives will be too big to avoid.
It seems inevitable that open source harnesses will win. These companies would do better to just open source their harnesses.
This was the most frustrating part for me, along with Anthropic's refusal to explain why the changelog is no longer a complete record. [1]
Boris Cherny only showed up to make sure "extreme danger" was stripped from the title [2]
Although I guess we should be thankful, OpenAI is standing firm on their decision to not allow their 60s timeout to be disabled, [3] however unlike Anthropic more of the harness is open source so customers have been able to fork it to add the option themselves.

It is much worse than that. Claude Code doesn't auto-commit when stopping for an answer. There might be possible data loss if an uncommitted file is edited.
Good luck recovering the file from the JSONL conversation history.

Instead, start with a plan file and tell the agent to break it up into logical commits.
Though I think the bigger issue here is when you're yoloing something mutable, like managing a remote server or driving a browser or troubleshooting your local OS where there's no going back.
