We've all been there. You give your AI coding assistant a massive refactoring task, step away to grab a coffee, and come back five minutes later expecting to see a beautifully rewritten codebase. Instead? The AI paused exactly 30 seconds after you left because it needed your permission to read a single configuration file. To fix this, developers often resort to the nuclear option: bypassing all permissions. In Claude Code, that meant running the infamous --dangerously-skip-permissions flag.
