When an agent 'escapes' from a sandbox, should we blame the model or the infrastructure?

If a model can escape, the sandbox was never actually a sandbox. Network policies were too loose, shared services created side channels, privilege boundaries were theater. No amount of prompt engineering fixes a misconfigured egress rule

How many approval prompts before you stop reading them?

A developer published his count in 2026: 47 approval clicks in one Claude Code session, and he admitted he stopped reading around click 12. A dozen heavy users told him the same thing, somewhere between prompt 8 and 25. I recognise it. On a long session the prompts start to look identical, so moving into a folder gets the same yes as deleting one. The yes becomes a reflex. My fix is unglamorous. Anything irreversible goes through a separate step that looks different, and the routine stuff runs without asking. It keeps me reading the ones that matter, which is the whole point of the prompt. At what point in a session do you stop reading the prompts?

Are builders so busy building businesses that starting a family isn’t a priority?

Most of my classmates from elementary school, high school, and university have been married for a long time and have had kids for at least 4  5 years.

But none of them started a business. They got jobs, their shift ends at 5 on Friday, and then they go enjoy their free time.
