Claude Code gets a web version—but it’s the new sandboxing that really matters

The article discusses the introduction of a web version of Claude Code, a popular coding assistant. While the web version offers convenience, the focus of the article is on the new sandboxing feature, which is seen as a more significant development. Sandboxing refers to the process of isolating the coding assistant's actions within a secure environment, reducing the potential for unintended consequences or misuse. This feature is designed to lessen the hassle and risks associated with the use of such tools, which are often referred to as "fire-and-forget agentic tools." The article suggests that the sandboxing technology is the more noteworthy aspect of the update, as it addresses concerns about the potential risks posed by these advanced coding assistants. The web version, while providing a more accessible platform, is seen as secondary to the importance of the sandboxing feature in ensuring the safe and responsible use of Claude Code.
