I don't know why this is getting downvoted. It's completely obviously that this is a 100% vibe coded slop project which is already supported with out of the box tools. There was, and is, almost zero need for this.

"The agents run on your boxes, not on your laptop. Close it and they keep working; open it in the morning and what they did is there."

What is a box? Sorry is that a remote VM? A local VM that stays awake when the laptop screen is closed?

Yea. The people making these things are vibe coding them out the door before even doing the smallest little bit of market research. It's lunacy.

Because anyone who says you can't buy GitHub stars or HN up votes is lying.

The velocity of how this space gets reskinned is wild.

Clearly we do not yet feel satisfied with the way we consume and work with agents at scale.

It looks like perhaps rather than skinning we need a more novel UX or workflow to emerge.

I can't help but think all of this is living on borrowed time and eventually it will look more like talking to your "assistant" that fields everything for you and maybe some new async interruption model that fits humans better.

Biggest bottleneck in my opinion still is how to solve for information density.

Thanks so much for saying this!

Even with a single instance of Claude Code, running I am producing so much code that it is impossible to even self-review.

Can we please focus on that?

We simply need neural implant technology to overclock our brains, making the world (and its Claude instances) appear to go slower.

You got downvoted but your joke made me think of the show The Dark Matter and how they had the concept of a hallway with infinite doors to represent the multiverse to the human brain that cannot comprehend the state of superposition.
I sort of get what you're going for maybe? In a sense these things are gonna evolve at a rate where we are not going to be able to operate at their plane and we will need a sort of UX translation

Self-review is an anti-pattern.

So much this. We don't review the assembly/machine-code that the compiler creates, why do we still review the code the AI generates?

If it works as desired then ship it; if it doesn't then iterate until it does.

That's such an AI bro take

Because the compiler does a deterministic transform on the input. And the input is less ambiguous than natural language and following more strict rules.
Why ask obvious things?

I built some tools that lets me view diffs and summon agents to execute changes. You can probably vibe code that in a few minutes.

How is this different from running Paseo [0] in your VM?

Paseo seems to use a slightly less dark background color.

It's so obvious on projects like this that everything's generated.

"One line. A worktree, a box, an agent." Fuck does that mean?

Have some pride and actually write the text yourself. Tell my why it's interesting. What problems are you trying to solve?

If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I be bothered to read it.

A custom Mac application seems limiting compared to a web app. I use a web browser to connect from my laptop, tablet, and phone to use Linux VMs on exe.dev.

But it might be nice to have a nice way to run VMs on my Mac mini, too.

tptacek | an hour ago

This looks basically the same as what Paseo does, and Paseo is open source, works on lots of different platforms, and has native apps.

I have a homelab-type setup with macOS, phone, and ARM and x64 Linux platforms, all of which I can dispatch agent work to from my laptop from, like, an airplane.

It's extremely useful, scales up the number of experiments I can run, and decouples me from my dev laptop. But it's also just table stakes at this point.

rihegher | 53 minutes ago

I don't know if it is me but with Paseo I can't seems to resume a Claude code session. I feel I would prefer a mobile interface to herdr that is agent aware. Am I the only one not finding the right solution?

: tptacek | 47 minutes ago
That's not a problem I've had, but I believe you. My thing here isn't so much "Paseo is amazing" (though: having something like Paseo is a pretty big power-up from directly working with model harnesses) as it is "whatever else you do needs to be meaningfully better than Paseo to be worth doing".
My real belief about this stuff is that these things are all light sabers: developers are just going to build their own.

All these agent conductors are like new frontend frameworks of the before times. Everyone is making and trying to market them.

I don't get it. ChatGPT's Codex app allows you to use your machine, when its locked. It has full computer use, can code, open browsers, apps, etc. Why would we need a separate app for this?

The more time goes on the more I think there is basically no moat in AI products because everyone is literally building the same shit. There is zero creativity in AI product right now. Yeah they might be different designs, but they are all the same exact product under the skin.

Cursor, Devin, Factory, Amp Code, Codex, Claude Codex, Antigravity, Conductor, OpenCode, T3 Code, Orca, Emdash, and hundreds of more of the same exact shit.

Yeah they might market it same fancy revolutionary technology like Orbs, but it not it just an agent harness local or remote. You can do orbs literally with Claude Code with a single prompt it not special.

We have AI that lets you build things freely and yet here we are all building the same exact thing.

This is just coding harness. The personal assistant space is the exact same.

jr3592 | an hour ago

Agreed. I think coding agents have shown us one very important thing: It was never about the code.

Your idea and how well you can execute on it, i.e. how well you understand the problem space, is what has always mattered.

Coding being so easy now has just pulled back the curtain and shown the world that software developers really don't have much left to contribute. It's been done, a thousandfold.
