Hello gents, some quick feedback.
I think when you say “ditch localhost” you’re telling me to ditch my fast, instant-response laptop which I own and can peg the CPU of 24/7 for $0, in favour of a tiny cloud VM that I rent forever.
Your infra to run agents and builds for me is compared in my mind to a shell script an agent wrote a year ago and I reviewed once, that fires up my dev server and a local psql (5-10mb ram) on a dynamically allocated port hashed off the name of my current worktree, which it does so it doesn’t clash with other parallel work.
When the internet slows or dies I rarely notice.
As a cost conscious person who likes it when letters appear as I type, I think I might not be your ICP.
Am I being an asshole? Maybe. Am I going out of my way to tell you what goes on in the minds of people like me when we see offerings like this? Also maybe.
It's clearly not for you, you built yourself a version that works for you.
It's not me for either currently but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
Although there's a ton of other providers with their own more or less managed/opinionated flavor of agentic sandboxes.
We cataloged a bunch here
https://engine.build/lab/agent-sandboxes
I'll also add boxes.dev to that list.
But yeah overall your tone was asshole flavored lol. Maybe being a bit of a hater too.
