My experience with AI coding agents, like Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Augment Code’s Auggie has been that they are most effective when they can run autonomously, without frequent human intervention. In order to do that the AI needs permissions to make changes to the codebase, run tests, perform web searches, etc. Each AI coding […] The post How I…
