Yes, the difference is that Twill launches dedicated infra on each sandbox for each task. This means you can work on multiple tasks requiring a DB migration for instance. Also you can fire and forget tasks (my favorite) and don't have to keep your laptop running at night.

See also Cowork and other upcoming Anthropic features. See also Show HN, this exact product is frequently shown as a github link. The paradigm shift in Ai means what you are making is (1) filling a gap until the primaries implement it, most have it in their pipeline if not already (2) how easy it is to replicate with said Ai using my preferred tech stack

  Cowork does not seem to be focused on engineering, but we are fully expecting Anthropic to catch up in this category. What Anthropic can't offer is to let you use Codex or combine it with Claude Code. That is why we think non ai-labs players have a say in this market. To your last point, as always there is a buy vs build tradeoff which ultimately comes down to focusing on your core business which we think still remains important in the ai era

    > as always there is a buy vs build tradeoff it's a nonbinary decision now Google has a free, open source take on what you are building, looks more mature as well https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/scion/overview/ https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/scion/overview/ My comment about Cowork is more about pointing out a different feature set that will crossover with Code. In example they have the Task related things as an affordance, Code has this coming.

      I believe there is a difference between an open source framework and a product. You would still have to manage and scale your infra, build the integration layer around it to make it accessible where your teams are, fix bugs etc... I am not saying that build is always the bad choice, but the tradeoff did not disappear imo

        I’m newer to knowing and caring about what YC does at all in terms of the companies it funds. The fact that this is YC makes me think the org has forfeited any sense of “taste” at all. Complete scattershot from people who have money to scatter I guess.

        You can read old Paul Graham essays and the early YC Startup School (which is probably when peak YC happened) to get a sense of the ethos. They increased batch size to scale (as context for the "stopped doing things that don't scale" comment) https://www.startupschool.org/ https://www.startupschool.org/
