AI agents: Less capability, more reliability, please

I feel like OP would have been better of not referencing the viral thread about a developer not using any version control and surprised when the AI made changes, I don't think anyone who doesn't understand version control should be using a tool like cursor, there are other SAAS apps that build and deploy apps using AI and for people with the skill demonstrated in the thread, that is what they should be using.

It's like saying rm -rf / should have more safeguards built in. It feels unfair to call out the AI based tools for this.

`rm -rf /` does have a safeguard:

> For example, if a user with appropriate privileges mistakenly runs ‘rm -rf / tmp/junk’, that may remove all files on the entire system. Since there are so few legitimate uses for such a command, GNU rm normally declines to operate on any directory that resolves to /. If you really want to try to remove all the files on your system, you can use the --no-preserve-root option, but the default behavior, specified by the --preserve-root option, is safer for most purposes.
