    If you're interested in driving coding agents with code, check out the OpenHands Software Agent SDK [1] We need to define agents in code, and drive them through semi-deterministic …

    Some people seem to be convinced by logical reframings, like "if you jump into a woodchipper you die, but if 50% of people jump into the woodchipper they all survive" A logical ref…

    Considerations: * many people (at least toddlers, people with dementia) are going to press blue roughly by accident. See the lizardman constant * other people will not want to be r…

    Forgetting how to code is not a bad thing. Forgetting how to make software is.

    Lots of negativity towards k8s in here. It's always funny to me when $WILDLY_POPULAR_TECH gets ripped apart like this, as though no one has ever had a positive experience with it. …

    Good reminder to choose model-agnostic tooling!

    Strong article! I’ve been using the engine/car analogy for a while now. If you want to play with the basic building blocks of coding agents, check out https://github.com/OpenHands/…

    I still think every developer should be building their own IDE https://github.com/rbren/personal-ai-devbox

    It's probably just as hard to secure OpenClaw as this, but you'll find better tutorials for securing OpenClaw

    The prompts contain e.g. a terminal UI, which gives you root access to the machine. If someone can access that UI and its backend, the can do whatever they want! So make sure to pu…

    A reasonably sized OSS model that's this good at coding is a HUGE step forward. We've done some vibe checks on it with OpenHands and it indeed performs roughly as good as Sonnet 4.…

    This is why it's worth investing in a model-agnostic setup. Don't tie yourself into a single model provider! OpenHands, Toad, and OpenCode are fully OSS and LLM-agnostic

    The OpenHands CLI has had some major improvements since v1: https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands MIT license and model agnostic I’d also keep a close eye on Toad which is launchi…

    That's the idea! We have a confirmation_mode that can interrupt at any step in the process.
