Reading this made me appreciate one subtle upside of cloud agents a bit more. The credential setup can be annoying, but it’s also a useful bit of friction.
A local agent may accidentally inherit all the random authority sitting on your laptop: env vars, cloud CLIs, ~/.aws, ~/.ssh, forgotten tokens, etc. With a cloud agent, you’re usually much more deliberate about what credentials it gets.

Guys will do anything but use cloud agents

@YadKonrad I got the OpenHands SDK working alongside a chromium browser, and just put a prompt window alongside the main webview where I can ask for features
Started with basics like tabs and bookmarks, now working on things like keyboard shortcuts and split tabs

@rbren_dev Haha what are you using? Okay Not so much vibe but been systematically writing a terminal ground up using specifications and been stuck at some last steps 😬, rust egui is a lot harder than I thought to write from scratch

We're heading to @_odsc in Boston, April 28-30. Our CEO @rbren_dev is talking about how teams are evolving as AI coding agents move from single-user tools to org-wide infrastructure. #ODSCAIEast
If you're building with agents (or thinking about it), come say hi.

Anyone else annoyed by all the “game changer” and “X is dead” posts?
I was, so I built DailyMe: a calmer, higher-quality news feed for myself.
I started leaning more on RSS, then built a small pipeline to pull in my email newsletters plus a few other sources I still wanted, like Reddit and Hacker News.

Vibecoded a small, self-hosted finance app using @teller which shows all my ongoing monthly subscriptions. Identified ~$150/mo in unused subscriptions!

Everyone's talking about Anthropic's new model discovering new security vulnerabilities.
What people aren't talking about is the millions of KNOWN vulnerabilities remaining unfixed due to lack time, interest, etc.
e.g. OpenClaw has 67 CVEs right now, including 4 critical ones.

In the spirit of language model freedom, as a weekend project I finally set up my own fully local coding agent:
* GMKtek box with AMD Ryzen
* Qwen3.5 30B A3B, served with lemonade server+llama.cpp
* ngrok to expose the endpoint
* OpenHands as the agent, currently through the CLI
Honestly I am still a bit surprised at how well this works. Qwen3.5-30B-A3B is a good model, and the serving experience was pretty fast and smooth.

The most interesting thing agents unlock isn't "do the same work faster."
It's work that was technically possible, but nobody was actually doing because the iteration cost was too high

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@rbren_dev 🤔 My smolpaws is a persistent agent, with memory and awareness of its own setup. Accessible from where you are, github, discord, whatsapp; sort of slack.
It doesn't... feel like a set of conversations. (it whipped up a view for latest conversations, like a log for human)

I wanted to get in on the OpenClaw action last month, but am usually allergic to the New Thing
So I spun up a VM, pointed a domain at it, and started vibecoding my own
This is now my daily driver for software dev
