With local AI agents increasingly writing and executing code autonomously, giving them unrestricted access to your machine is becoming a massive security risk. This is one of the primary reasons that agentic flows have so many flavors of approval that may need to happen throughout an agents course...
Earlier this week, someone asked me if they were perhaps late to making use of AI-assisted development, as they dove into it in the past 2 months (using GitHub Copilot) and are already seeing large gains in a small team in terms of leverage of time. I thought for a second and responded that they...
