Housecat | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco but REMOTE (US) based on qualifications. Hi I'm Noah, founder and CTO at Housecat.com Housecat is an email inbox that gets real work …

Congrats! Building a cloud like Fly is very difficult. Staying nimble through technology shifts is hard. I’m right there with you on the agent computer shift. It’s forever changed …

Thanks for the explanation. I do find air lacking for sufficiently complicated applications servers

How does this compare to templ and templui? I see from the docs that gsx is templ compatible. And why does this depend on node / npx? Something to do with the JSX syntax and parsin…

I continue to love DBOS for how it just leverages Postgres (and now SQLite) properly. It's effortless to drop into an existing CRUD stack. Once you start down the "durable workflow…

We're thinking and designing with number of finance / VC / PE types. This is where the durable workflows can really help. I wouldn't trust a agent chat or SKILL.md for numbers just…

Yes that's a good way to think about it. We started as a hosted claw of sorts. But the less technical folks wanted something more than chats and markdown to do their work. We then …

TL;DR we're building a unified UX / API / SDK / VM all around the concept of "inbox". Not just bolting AI on to search / draft / send. First its a question of the shape of a produc…

Hey we are Housecat. I've spend the last 15 years building dev tools at Heroku, Convox (YC S15), and Segment. Dev tools have gotten insanely good over the decades, now we're workin…

I love Hetzner for some of the cheapest cloud components that can do anything. One use case is a custom ACME cert broker and DNS server. Another is their storage boxes split up int…

Very interesting! As a small startup I'd love to ditch Slack, as its a walled garden and both under-featured and over-complicated at the same time. GitHub has been losing my favor …

> None of the music videos were great Glad they acknowledge this. Curious how much time in addition to tokens this costs. If you have to spend $25 and wait 45 minutes to get a basi…

Looks cool. I’m looking for a macro pad with a little LCD that’s Mac and Linux compatible. This looks like it has LEDs but not a screen. Any experience with https://www.eezbotfun.c…

Could rebrand to the HUGS stack -- HTMX (or hypertext), Unix, Go, SQLite

Love Go + HTMX. I pair it with a-h/templ for a bit more type safety on the template, components and partials. I just shared my whole toolkit too [1], I call it the "GUS stack" -- G…

No question most folks will simply take the path of least resistance. We need to make it easier (and faster and cheaper) to get a secure cloud agent computer than it is to YOLO it …

The home directory is the scariest thing to me. The agent needs the code to code, but it doesn't need your personal files or secrets. Personally I'm not worried about sharing busin…

Another +1 to cloud sandboxes (and exe.dev) vs laptop sandbox. Runs 24/7 completely air gapped from your laptop. You also want a service proxy so the sandbox can access GitHub or S…

We all know the dangers of running agents with no permissions on our laptop. The good news is its now just as easy to spin up a sandbox in the cloud for an experiment or coding ses…

What AGENTS.md and skills are people relying on these days? I have little to none and am successful building full stack Go apps Claude Code, Codex, and Shelley which covers the spe…

> Historically, rewrites are a terrible idea. This changed for me over the last 5 years. The first scenario was joining a company where a software product barely worked. We did the…

Fair feedback and sentiment. As I build this out there's actually less and less AI in the product and more good old-fashioned UX, writing and data entry tools, and automations. Som…

Genuinely curious how quality is so poor at MS. Tech debt and deadlines and red tape? This is the company that invented the term dogfooding and forced everyone to use Exchange unti…

Codex just walked me through my first experience with unicorn the other day, emulating / stubbing out subsystems from a Pioneer CDJ-3000 to help understand its music catalog databa…

What has worked for me… Pair programming. I call it pilot / copilot / autopilot. Two real people plus one or two agents working together. Classic XP stuff, the copilot can help rem…
