The Unix philosophy of small, composable tools is still valid in the era of stochastic machines!

Polish works with the Latin alphabet just fine.

"Do kraju tego, gdzie kruszynę chleba podnoszą z ziemi przez uszanowanie dla darów Nieba.... Tęskno mi, Panie..."

"Mimozami jesień się zaczyna, złotawa, krucha i miła. To ty, to ty jesteś ta dziewczyna, która do mnie na ulicę wychodziła."

I tried English + Polish:

> All right, I'm not really sure if transcribing this makes a lot of sense. Maybe not. A цьому nie mówisz po polsku. A цьому nie mówisz po polsku, nie po ukrańsku.

As someone who spends hours every day coding with AI, I am guilty of running it in "YOLO" mode without sandboxing more often than I would like to admit. But after reading Karpathy's post and some of the AI conversations on Moltbook, I decided to fast-forward the development of one of the tools I have been tinkering with for the last few weeks.

The idea is simple - create portable, reproducible coding environments on remote "agent boxes". The initial focus was portability and accessing the boxes from anywhere, even from the smartphone via a native app when I am AFK.

Then the idea came to mind to build hardened VMs with security built-in - but the "coding experience" should look & feel local. So far I've been having pretty good results, being able to create workspaces on remote machines automatically with Codex and Claude pre-installed and ready-to-use in a few seconds.

Right now I am focusing my efforts on getting the security right. First thing I want to try is putting a protective layer around the boxes, in such a way that the human user CAN for example install external libraries, run scripts, etc, but the AI agent CAN'T. Reliably so. I am more engineer than security researcher, but I am doing pretty good progress.

Happy to chat with likeminded folks who want to stop this molt madness.

Pesticides banned in Europe, but allowed in South America: Atrazine, Acephate, Mancozeb, Paraquat, and many more.

Diseases they can produce include: Parkinson's, brain damage in children and lower IQ, infertility, genetic mutations.

It is not even a matter of fairness, but of defending one owns interests.

As it should be if we don't want to wake up one fine day in the middle of a global war with no food supply because of a naval blockade and have our children starve to death.

In my opinion it is a net negative for all countries in Europe, but one.

Once again, Germany has pushed through its interests at the expense of other European nations like Poland. This time even France was against it.

What is Germany going to get? A new market for their decaying automobile industry.

What is the rest of Europe going to get? Cheap, low quality food shipped thousands of kilometers. Food produced with lower standards than food produced in the EU - so farmers in Europe now have to face unfair competition.

Fellow bootstrapper here, roughly in your ballpark - €4M+ revenue, team of 18, bootstrapped for 12 years.

Only bootstrappers understand the bootstrap hustle ;) But what an amazing business you have built there - be proud, you deserve it.

Let me share a personal founder story if I may: after 12 years of building the company, I decided to step down as CEO, moved on and spent the last 6 months working on different projects, learned A LOT about AI coding, went to Iceland, Texas. Had a great time. Yet after only 6 months I experienced the strongest "pull" you can imagine, back to my bootstrapped company of 12 years. And here I am - December has been an amazing time, getting back to work. And next year we have ambitious plans ahead!

My left hand is the one which has suffered the most the many hours of using a keyboard over the last +-25 years. While the right hand has the occasional break from the keyboard when using the mouse, the left hand is constantly glued to the keyboard.

It also has a much tougher job - all the cmd, ctrl, alt and shift + combinations are mostly done using the left hand - e.g. on Mac you cannot cmd+shift+ select text with the arrows - you must use the left hand - so it ends up doing so much more work.

I wonder if there are other people with the same problem. My right hand never hurts after many hours of computer work - but the left hand does. It hurts even now that I am typing and I haven't even spent more than an hour doing it.

Of course, I am exaggerating a bit - and I am not even that experienced with Rust.

But after coding with Ruby, JS/TS and Python - it feels refreshing to know that as long as your code compiles, it probably is 80-90% there.

And it is fast, too.
