Yep fair point. In my case I don't think codex team was really considering outside contributor PRs except bugfixes, plus my idea of "plan mode" was prob not what they wanted to shi…

For boxes.dev we use E2B - they had everything we needed at the time. I'd love a standardized API / marketplace, but more just to try out new providers with differentiated features…

Yeah I think this is changing, fast. 100% agree on "clone X and tell me how it works". I'd also add: "clone X and see how it does Y; use that as design reference for building featu…

These tools all assume you have machines to run the agents on. But for parallel agents I'm pretty convinced you want each agent on its own isolated devbox running your dev environm…

Thanks! We aggressively spin down idle boxes. We'll put any box to sleep where the agent has finished its turn and you're not connected, and then we'll wake it again if you connect…

Thanks! Longer term it's hard to say if everything 100% moves to the cloud. I'd guess that some things stay local (e.g. if you need your local hardware or are very are hands-on ite…

Yes it definitely sped up development! The main wins were around parallelization and autonomy: 1) full isolation (filesystem + compute per thread) 2) agents having a working dev en…

Nice! We love hearing about personal setups to solve these same problems. One difference between boxes.dev and your setup is that we spawn an exact copy of the main box for each ag…

Thanks! We were also excited about Sprites when it launched but it didn't quite work for us either. And Cursor Cloud Agents is definitely pretty similar -- one area where we differ…

Nope you're exactly right - we're using microVMs today (Firecracker VMs via E2B) and running that same shape but on customer-owned machines is definitely one approach we're looking…

To add to what @nab said, the longest ("overnight") runs are usually after going back and forth to build out a big multi-phase plan doc -- especially when each phase has an extensi…

It's just one hour of runtime. But we put the machines to sleep very quickly once the agent finishes its work, and then wake when you interact in the UI (e.g. terminal, filesystem,…

http://www.plottingtool.com/app.html It's a fully client-side, Tableau-inspired data visualization & exploration tool for CSV / tabular data. I built it around 7 years ago with jus…

Actually a single water molecule is held together by covalent bonds between the O and two H's, and hydrogen bonds (not Van der Waals) are the intermolecular forces responsible for …

We might not need the government to fully subsidize healthcare to improve things though. Prices are set so high that hospitals - even nonprofit ones - have huge profit margins (thi…

With restaurant bills, things get rather complicated when everyone orders different items, someone bought a Groupon, etc. Unless people are OK with over/under paying, a bill splitt…

Not that it'd help you specifically, but I've found that working with someone else can be really beneficial for getting things finished. For me it was great for keeping stuff on tr…
