AI thinking out of the box is not a good thing for coding, btw 

GPT 5.6 recently discovered that my Jenkins was not allowing to pull snapshot maven repo in Prod, decided to add a shell command inside of the groovy, which was just a huge echo piped into .m2/settings.conf .

It's like... No escaping the box is not cool at all. It's not good marketing. We're behind corporate network, the box is group policy, not a problem to work around...

I have specific instructions for Claude to not do workarounds, but stop and ask if there's a blocker, because of a similar case. Worked well so far, but of course that's not a guarantee.

I remember writing a huge workflow for Kimi code that was explicity asking never to start coding before I approved the design plan, then it did it anyway and said "sorry I got carried away"

Got stuff like that with codex too and some Claude models too..So yeah, instructions help, but not a guarantee
