It's so important to remember that unlike code which can be reverted - most file system and application operations cannot.
There's no sandboxing snapshot in revision history, rollbacks, or anything.
I expect to see many stories from parents, non-technical colleagues, and students who irreparably ruined their computer.
Edit: most comments are focused on pointing out that version control & file system snapshot exists: that's wonderful, but Claude Cowork does not use it.
For those of us who have built real systems at low levels I think the alarm bells go off seeing a tool like this - particularly one targeted at non-technical users
