AI agents should show their actions before asking permission
Original: “Allow this action” is a difficult question to answer when I can’t see what the action actually... # ai # ux # productiv
A developer and writer argues that AI coding assistants asking users to 'allow this action' are flawed design, because users cannot grant meaningful consent without seeing exactly what the agent intends to change. The piece calls for AI agents to display their planned changes upfront, framing the problem as one of user experience, trust and inclusive software design rather than raw capability.
Why now: AI coding agents are spreading fast, and their permission prompts are a live frustration among developers wrestling with how much control to hand over.
