Thanks! We aggressively spin down idle boxes. We'll put any box to sleep where the agent has finished its turn and you're not connected, and then we'll wake it again if you connect (firecracker VMs can sleep/wake very…
Thanks! Longer term it's hard to say if everything 100% moves to the cloud. I'd guess that some things stay local (e.g. if you need your local hardware or are very are hands-on iterating with the code). But at the…
Yes it definitely sped up development! The main wins were around parallelization and autonomy: 1) full isolation (filesystem + compute per thread) 2) agents having a working dev environment that runs our app 3) being…
Nice! We love hearing about personal setups to solve these same problems. One difference between boxes.dev and your setup is that we spawn an exact copy of the main box for each agent thread, so it's totally isolated.…
Thanks! We were also excited about Sprites when it launched but it didn't quite work for us either. And Cursor Cloud Agents is definitely pretty similar -- one area where we differ is that Cursor only uses their custom…

Nope you're exactly right - we're using microVMs today (Firecracker VMs via E2B) and running that same shape but on customer-owned machines is definitely one approach we're looking into. And thank you!
To add to what @nab said, the longest ("overnight") runs are usually after going back and forth to build out a big multi-phase plan doc -- especially when each phase has an extensive manual test plan (agent runs the app…
It's just one hour of runtime. But we put the machines to sleep very quickly once the agent finishes its work, and then wake when you interact in the UI (e.g. terminal, filesystem, send the agent a followup). We're…
http://www.plottingtool.com/app.html It's a fully client-side, Tableau-inspired data visualization & exploration tool for CSV / tabular data. I built it around 7 years ago with just ES6 and d3.js (no React etc) but…
Actually a single water molecule is held together by covalent bonds between the O and two H's, and hydrogen bonds (not Van der Waals) are the intermolecular forces responsible for the properties like surface tension and…
We might not need the government to fully subsidize healthcare to improve things though. Prices are set so high that hospitals - even nonprofit ones - have huge profit margins (this is better stated in the original…
With restaurant bills, things get rather complicated when everyone orders different items, someone bought a Groupon, etc. Unless people are OK with over/under paying, a bill splitting app can be pretty useful to figure…
Not that it'd help you specifically, but I've found that working with someone else can be really beneficial for getting things finished. For me it was great for keeping stuff on track and staying accountable when it…
