> What happened next: Claude installed every CLI, prompted me to login once, then went into autopilot. Configured each service. Ran commands. Checked logs. Auto-corrected errors. Got the app running in minutes.

> In another instance, a GitHub workflow was failing. Claude asked if it could SSH into my Hetzner instance to investigate. I said yes. It connected, looked up the config, restarted the Docker instances causing issues, and renewed some certificates as a hygiene step - which I never asked it to do.

This type of thing scares the crap out of me and I’m flabbergasted that anyone wold give an LLM unrestricted shell access to a server.



I've also noticed Claude "running away" and doing a bunch of work I never asked it to do.


And I'm sure just "restarting docker instances" fixed the root problem here...

The maintenance costs here are going to be eye watering.
