That applies to tech users only.
Non-tech users starting to use Claude code and won't care to get the job done
Claude introduced skills is to bring more non-tech users to CLI
as a good way to get your feet wet.
Not everyone will go for such minute tweaks.
- JohnMakin 6mo agowhat? non techies are most at risk. There are a huge number of malicious skills. Not knowing or caring how to spot malicious behavior doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t be concerned about it, no matter how much they can’t or don’t want to do it. I am an adminstrator of this stuff at my company and it’s an absolute effing nightmare devising policies that protect people from themselves. If I heard this come out of someone’s mouth underneath me I’d tell them to leave the room before I have a stroke. And this is stuff like, if so and so’s machine is compromised, it could cost the company massive sums of money. for your personal use, fine, but hearing this cavalier attitude like it doesn’t matter is horrifying, because it absolutely does in a lot of contexts.

- gck1 6mo agoI run a small local non-profit which is essentially security hardening guide with some helper tooling that simplifies some concepts for non-techies (FDE, MFA, password managers etc). LLMs have completely killed my motivation to continue running it. None of standard practices apply anymore
