With so many apps in need of these sandboxes I wonder if a browser plugin could be built which provisions a sandbox on the users computer. A type of infra which could be utilized by different providers. The security implications are a little tough, but the attack surface could be likely reduced with the right practices

Particularly an explosion of SaaS sandboxes... why should I pay a subscription for some remote sandbox with paltry compute power, which I need a constant internet connection to access?

Some companies only allow access through a VDI like Windows Remote Desktop or some VMWare setup. It’s crazy.
For a very good reasons. Not everyone needs a full blown, powerful laptop/desktop to run their server-side tools in the browser.

I think sandboxes are having their moment because it's become undeniable that coding agents are useful, and that they're more useful if you run them in YOLO mode rather than having to approve everything they want to do. Coding agents are still a relatively new category to most people. Claude Code dates back to February last year, and it took a while for the general engineering public to understand why that format - c…

Another variant is that suffering is a virtue. They say doctors make the worst patients. I wonder if programmers are the least useful of users.
My current ideology: Wait on tasks that are urgent, Act on ideas that are important. Is that even more dangerous?
Somehow I have a definition of The Last Responsible Moment that is both less and more urgent than most people's.
