I thought it would be fun to see how I have been feeling while talking to claude code.

I welcome contributions and suggestions.

Has to be taken in light of median income too right?

I had the exact same idea but for AI agent harnesses.

I even created an app to explain it - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47381803 (deleted the app as got no traction whatsoever)

Idea was that, the ai models like opus 4.6 and codex 5.4 have become so good at trying new ways to attack a problem, that even just Bash() tool is enough.

Continuing the idea, infact even File() operations are enough.

Again continuing the same line of thought, even just a Tape is enough. Given enough time, codex and opus will achieve your target.

I think you are absolutely right. (had to)

This is a bit restrictive, doesn't take screenshots. So you can't "say take screenshots of my homepage and send it to me via email"

It doesnt allow egress curl, apart from few hardcoded domains.

I have created Cronbox in the cloud which has a better utility than above. Did a "Show HN: Cronbox – Schedule AI Agents" a few days back.

Had used cactus before - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44524544

Then moved to pocket pal now for local llm.

Fwiw, my pixel 8 runs Qwen3.5 4B with 2 tok/s speed. Via pocketpal app. Somehow cactus app didn't work.

Show HN: Cronbox – Schedule AI Agents

mkagenius — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:59:24 +0000

Cronbox is a cron, where an AI agent wakes up and works on a schedule. We believe a lot of repetitive tasks can benefit a lot from AI agents. And scheduling them in the cloud keeps you hands-free.

You can do things like, taking screenshot of a site, resize it to size 1000 x 1000, and look for price changes on the page and get notified via email.

Or ask it to draw svg of a 'pelican riding a bicyle' whenever a new model is released on openai and mail it to you.

Every job runs in its own linux sandbox, so a lot more things are possible.

While Claude's cloud scheduling is limited by a restrictive sandbox and no screenshot or SVG support, cronbox.sh provides a full power environment with unrestricted libraries, curl, and native web capturing.

holding off update seems like reasonable step till the patch comes. I also run a .local for apple containers though not docker.

You could do that with say Claude Code too with rather much simpler set up.

OPs question was more around sandboxes though. To which, I would say that it's to limit unintended actions on host machine.

Thanks. I actually used Google AI Studio for this. Prompted with my color choices and let it do the rest, turned out pretty good.

Show HN: Sandbox Flow – A Playground for Sandboxes

mkagenius — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:30:28 +0000

The combination of a browser, a LLM and a sandbox seems like the perfect turing machine for the AI agent world - it can probably achieve any task there is to automate.

There can be many ways to play around with this combination but using visual workflow and nodes seemed the most intuitive way, so I am building Sandbox Flow.

Later I am planning on adding local LLMs, a playwright and a local sandbox.

Have a look!

A way to run claude code inside a apple container -

  $ container system start

  $ container run -d --name myubuntu ubuntu:latest sleep infinity

  $ container exec myubuntu bash -c "apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y openssh-server"

  $ container exec myubuntu bash -c "
    apt-get install -y curl &&
    curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x |
  bash - &&
    apt-get install -y nodejs
  "

  $ container exec myubuntu npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

  $ container exec myubuntu claude --version
