Yeah makes sense. Something about giving an agent its own physical computer and being able to text it instructions like a personal assistant just clicks more than “run an agent in a sandbox”.

I hope that at some point companies start competing on quality instead of speed. LLMs will never be able to understand a codebase, and the more capable they get the more dangerous it is to just hand them the permission to blindly implement functionality and fix bugs. Bugs should be going down but they seem more prevalent than ever.

Old news comes off dismissive. Doesn’t have to be a brand new discovery to be noteworthy.

This is really cool, and also feels like it should be built into Claude Code (that’s a compliment btw). I’m gonna try it out this week, thanks.

AGPL seems like a joke when it comes up against the indie hacker world. Has there ever been an example of an open-source maintainer successfully suing someone who ripped off their codebase without attribution? Doubtful.

Yeah but if that was the only reason to do open source that was encouraged then there’d almost certainly be a lot less open source software overall (and lower quality). Personally I’d prefer OSS win overall even if it costs some ideological purity.

Feel like it’s clear by this point AI-generated music isn’t going anywhere, I guess the question now becomes how much of it will be hyper-personalized (even generated JIT) vs static albums generated by artists like this. Or even a combination where it’s JIT but based exactly on an artists static body of work (could imagine Spotify having a “generate AI songs” toggle on an artists radio). IMO something is lost if people cant say “I love that artist/album too” or sing along to particular songs at concerts.

I guess the solution is to just not mention it >:)

Are you sure it wasn’t for normal sales reasons? IMO that’s where the competition will always be, regardless of AI.

Talk to friends and family, see if you can build something to solve their problems that doesn’t exist yet (or cost too much or does a poor job). The more removed they are from the tech sector the better.

OR - do general client work (cold call or go door-to-door) and try to find gaps that way. Maybe you corner the market on sub-industrial sprinkler repair management software.

Our industry is hostile to vibecoded tools while the rest of the world waits for us to replace their legacy garbage with something better, vibecoded or not.

elemdos — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 22:49:31 +0000

I’ve also found AI to be super helpful for self-hosting but in a different way. I set up a Pocketbase instance with a Lovable-like app on top (repo here: https://github.com/tinykit-studio/tinykit) so I can just pull out my phone, vibecode something, and then instantly host it on the one server with a bunch of other apps. I’ve built a bunch of stuff for myself (journal, CRM, guitar tuner) but my favorite thing has been a period tracker for a close friend who didn’t want that data tracked + sold.

I feel like there’s something special about connecting to a server to build and deploying on the same server. Claude Code on the web lets you connect to a repo, test the code, and deploy it, but then you have to host the app and data somewhere else to take it live. IMO the ideal is doing everything in one place and it seems like a lot of dev tools are going in that direction too (v0, val town, deno deploy).
