I Didn't Know How Much I'd Handed Over to AI

A small thing happened the other day that I keep thinking about. I’d been saying yes to Claude Code without really reading what it was about to do. I caught myself mid-approval, and the thing that stopped me wasn’t the command. It was the realization that I hadn’t read the previous one either, or the one before that.What bothered me wasn’t the lapse. It was that I’d read every horror story this year. The Replit incident. The PocketOS deletion I wrote about last week. The Gemini CLI files. I’d read them, written them, and somewhere in the back of my head I’d filed all of them under that’s never happening to me. I had Claude under control. I reviewed things. I was careful.And here I was, saying yes to commands I hadn’t read.That’s the moment I want to start with. Not the catastrophic version, where the agent deletes a production database and you’re explaining to customers why their reservations are gone. The quieter version, where nothing goes wrong, and the only damage is to your sense…
