> It's a real trade-off though and I'm thankful for any feedback, including this one.

Feedback: If your app is going to use 10GB of storage, tell the user in advance and give them a one-click way to remove it. Just basic manners. Don't pick your nose at the dinner table. It's not hard, just common decency.

> even the ones who are so often experience "approval fatigue". Not having to ask for approval is valuable.

This is by and large a short-term pro for Anthropic. It's often not one for the user, and in the long-term, often barely even for the company. In any case, it's a great example of putting Anthropic priorities above the users'. Which is fine and happens all the time, but in this case just isn't necessary. Similar to the AGENTS.md case. We're on the cusp of a pattern establishing here and that's something you'll want to stop before it's ossified.

agree to this if their target market is only developers

but over 90% of their users are non technical so removing that approval step is the correct move in a product sense.

users install cowork for the magic, 10gb is negligible. these days even steam games are 50gb+ and you care more about the gameplay than the disk space.

hn should really touch more grass.
