The Obedience Trade-off: Why I Swapped Claude Code for Zed + GLM-4.7

Autonomous AI agents are impressive, but their "helpfulness" often leads to unauthorized changes. After Claude Code silently removed rate limiters and rewrote my email templates, I found a more reliable alternative in the Zed Editor paired with GLM-4.7. Description: A technical deep-dive into the risks of "Vibe Coding" and AI overreach. This post analyzes a real-world incident where an autonomous agent broke production features while fixing bugs, and explores why the strict instruction-following capabilities of Zhipu's GLM-4.7 model inside the Zed editor offer a safer, more deterministic workflow for serious engineering.
