Precisely this.

I have no clue why you are mentioning OPT. Almost no one uses it during their school years because it makes no sense to and reduces your post-grad time. That’s what CPT is for. They’re requiring programs to have mandatory internships which

I didn’t mention anything about OPT? It effectively makes it near impossible because most programs dont require an internship. And I’m definitely familiar with the process

I can make any point by cherrypicking whatever data I want.

How is using CPT for a summer internship circumventing program pf study? To get CPT, the experience has to related to your degree, not just a random job. And you can only do it in over school breaks

The new directive requires that the course requires the internship. Most programs (especially CS/economics etc) dont. This effectively removed any pathway for international cs students interning. It’s far from a narrow restriction

Much of the code was certainly written by agents, as is most of the code now. That said, there's a big difference between "vibe coding" and "agentic coding". The latter requires careful and thoughtful design and rev

If you want something cross-platform, smolvm or microsandbox are great options(built on top of libkrun vmm)! If you are looking for linux-only, the typical choices are firecracker-based solutions.

ah gotcha! For non-coding use cases I see the value/utility. Thanks, good luck!

I appreciate that, but unfortunately I'm still unclear why I need to route across multiple (coding) agent harnesses vs just sticking with one(omp).

Thanks! Yours looks good too! What would you say is the difference with Slack connect? I find slack connect to be pretty painful once you have n > 50 channels

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
right, that part makes sense. The part i'm a little confused on is what the utility is for actually routing across harnesses. Is the point that most harnesses have been co-trained with models thus perform the best in the native harness

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
Agree. I'm always surprised Github still uses huge fat VMs. I imagine this is one of the things that make it much painful at scale. The tricky part with microvms are getting them to run cross-platform. We use an awesome project called

What’s the pitch for a harness router?iirc codex has codex app server, pi also has a reusable core.

mind trying https://github.com/preloopdev/preloop ? We follow the official runner protocol 100% so we should hopefully have more workflow-compat.we also run in cross-platform microvms, not docker containers.

Hopefully a good spot to plug my own project, preloop, which is a drop-in replacement of Github actions(both the runners and control plane) that runs locally or self-hosted in isoalted microvms, and supports debug-on-failure. You can also p

Thank you for the detailed feedback. I'll definitely revisit the font.

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
why not use localhost which most browsers have no issues validating? .dev being on HSTS is a positive imo

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
very fair, thanks for sharing.

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
Thanks! On the runner/control plane side, most of what is left is adding support for the latest's runner advanced features/fixes. Things like deferred/dynamic matrices, background steps, some edge cases in the old AZDO p

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
thanks for the feedback! Was it mostly the font, structure or content or everything? I’ll make sure to use a more minimal/standard docs site. For now I have them in /docs in the repo.
25.
by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
Yes! You could effectively use the official runner against preloop or our (almost) drop-in rust equivalent which is a 10x smaller binary and has far lower idle rss. The control plane currently is unfortunately coupled with the data plane, b

hmm, the pricing table shows it bills per-CPU hours. why did you specifically chose sprites.dev vs an alternative or making your own?Anything they do particularly better than others?

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
Thanks! Here's a more detailed comparison: https://github.com/preloopdev/preloop/blob/main/docs/preloop... . The TLDR is act(much like Forgejo/Gitea) try to behaviorally emulate how your wo

by Bnjoroge 1mo ago
Thanks! I'm glad it resonates. Still pretty beta, but I'm hoping this can be a good alternative when Github goes down, which unfortunately has been a bit too often, with as minimal of a lift from the user side. And of course, maki

Looks cool! would be great if the pricing was down to the minute. Often some coding sessions might be quick ones, unless the focus is mostly on background agents that do long-running jobs.
