I find it odd that people recommend Docker for sandboxing agentic coding tools. Isn't it easier to just create a separate user account on the machine? It's an established security boundary, and viewing output is easy (just make the user's home directory world readable).

I'm playing with Zeal/Dash so I can view stdlib docs offline. (I've been coding on public transport recently, without a reliable data connection.) Anyone have tips for making the most of this setup? AFAICT docsets are basically HTML underneath.

Is there a programming equivalent of the strawberry problem, i.e. a specific coding task that LLMs are consistently bad at?
