Checking Out exe.dev

Finally took a look at David Crawshaw’s new project exe.dev , a slick new service for spinning up virtual machines in seconds. It’s a subscription service that gives you access to VM’s with persistant disks for a really great price. Enough is enough and I am slowly iterating through creating my own end to end agent orchestration system where I can manage projects as a HOTL (Human on the loop; shoutout Geoffrey Huntley ).

Why it’s perfect for coding agents

What really blows me away is how perfect it is for coding agents. I set up an environment in minutes, and it worked flawlessly:

• Secure sandboxing – lets agents run wild without risking your main machine
• Built-in agent support – they provide an agent called Shelley but I’m using Amp right now
• Instant HTTPS proxies – share web apps immediately
• Private-by-default sharing – keep your work secure
