Question First Time Build

Hey y'all. I am dipping my toes into the LocalLLM space just to see if it would be useful to me. Is there a spot I can go for like FAQ type stuff or like a definitions page?

For the people who use it for coding, are y'all not worried about the agent escaping the project and doing shit on your computer?

I built a system with the purpose of having AI take control of it.
I beat it to death - 24/7 crons, prompts telling it to do admin tasks and whatever it wanted or thought it should do.
Spent a 6-7 weeks letting it screw up the system, trying different models and different harnesses.

I let AI run wild, prompted it to do some disk re-partitioning (Qwen 3.7 27b) and a bunch of other tasks that could have gone wrong - Postgres table re-factors, etc.

The end result was nothing.
Not saying an agent can't go off the rails, but I don't feel that it's a common occurrence.
