The way I think of it is, coding agents are power tools. They can be incredibly useful, but can also wreak a lot of havoc. Anthropic (et al) is marketing them to beginners and inevitably someone is going to lose their fingers.

I understand the need, but I don't understand why a VM or Docker is not enough. Why are people creating custom wrappers around VMs/containers?
