Cloud sandboxes for persistence and parallelization is a smart move. Local setups hit those exact walls very quickly. That feels like the right long term bet as the underlying models keep improving

This definitely feels like the end state. We need to improve models, agent/human UX and make the transition from cloud work to local work seemless to fully get there

Cloud to local seamless transition is exactly where the real value lies. Local setups with zero API cost and full privacy make the biggest difference

24/7 running coding agents are pretty clearly the direction the industry is going now. I think we'll need either on-premises or cloud solutions, since obviously if you need an agent to run 24/7 then it can't live on your laptop. Obviously cloud is better for making money, and some kind of VPC or local cloud solution is best for enterprise, but perhaps for individual devs, a self-hosted system on a home desktop comput…

To do what exactly? If the work requires 24/7 then fair enough.

I strongly believe all of these projects are unnecessary.

Install LXC on a server Start a container called dev

Add 25 lines to your zshrc

I say dev1 and it spins up fresh

Dev2 copies from that and is a fresh container.

Auto uses tmux.

Claude code with bypass mode. Do anything. Close laptop. Come back later.

Even have a lock mode blocking all internet access except to the llm provider.

Ssh key agent forwarding through 1pw CLI so it can't even push to github unless I reconnect.

I feel like the Dropbox quote years ago but its a lot easier than people think, and its weird to delegate to another service something that a dev should already understand how to do.

All I have to do to have the same issue to PR flow is open dev1. Open Claude. Have GH CLI and task system MCP.

Do /loop watch for new ticket assigned to me and complete it and push it up.

Millions of people using Claude code couldn’t write hello world in the language they are using, if they even know what it is.

I am anecdotally aware of at least one project where the author can’t recall off the top of his head what the stack is.
