Seems a bit similar to spec driven development. How does it differ?

One way is to use something like https://shellbox.dev - you start new boxes and manage it all through ssh, icl agent running inside

Checkout https://shellbox.dev for exactly thisnusecase: boxes can be stopped, they are snapshotted to disk then cost just $0.5/month. They wakeup with the same state (memory and processes too) on ssh connections, or web end

An interesting alternative: https://shellbox.dev - manage linux vms via ssh, pay only for what you use. It is much cheaper, no subscription is needed, supports nested virt, docker, custom images, duplication of boxes, gives an i

Cheaper by a factor of 2-5 depending on your usage. Read here: https://shellbox.dev/#post-race-to-the-bottom Startup is fast, less than 2 seconds if you pool connections. Also, what do you mean by optimized environment for

Just use something like https://shellbox.dev instead of FireCracker inside ec2. Much simpler, boxes are up in a couple of seconds, and it is way cheaper.

The memory footprint is great, it allows finally running these coding agents in extra small instances -- say x1 on shellbox.dev

In exe.dev you have a subscription and you get some constant compute, paid whether used or not. that compute is shared between the vms. In shellbox every box has its own dedicated compute and if you don't use any, you don't pay. S

Instant linux boxes via ssh that suspend on disconnect. Checkout https://shellbox.dev The idea is to have "real" linux, exposing ipv6, supporting nested virtualization, docker, etc.

Sadly this is what sells. Standing out in this regard checkout https://shellbox.dev maybe swinging too far though?

Anchor based editing requires injecting new anchors to the context, and dirac does so via a diff. So how is this more efficient (token-wise) than search and replace?? Even at a single token per hash. Also, code is read more than written so

re. bash type tooling-- it doesnt mean an agent cannot use ast: using treesitter cli this should be perfect possible

Yes, keep a box running regardless of connections using `ssh shellbox.dev keepalive mybox`

The scalability is in the number of instances: create, duplicate and destroy down to zero. Each instance size is fixed.

There are plenty of alternatives out there. I built https://shellbox.dev , which gives you instant vms via ssh where unlike exe you pay only for what you use-- scale to zero. It is also regular linux, supporting vscode and zed re

SSH to devboxes is the exact usecase for services like https://shellbox.dev : create a box using ssh... and ssh into it. Now web, no subs. Codex can create it's own boxes via ssh

It doesn't solve recording and uploading later... say a movie. So how does it even make sense?
