Who owns your domain name? Hint: it’s probably not you. Your hosting provider could take down your domain, or even steal traffic and direct it to their own IPs

If you're interested in driving coding agents with code, check out the OpenHands Software Agent SDK [1] We need to define agents in code, and drive them through semi-deterministic workflows. Kick subtasks off to agents where appropriat

Some people seem to be convinced by logical reframings, like "if you jump into a woodchipper you die, but if 50% of people jump into the woodchipper they all survive" A logical reframing is not equivalent though! We know everyone

Considerations: * many people (at least toddlers, people with dementia) are going to press blue roughly by accident. See the lizardman constant * other people will not want to be responsible for any deaths and will press blue out of a sense

Forgetting how to code is not a bad thing. Forgetting how to make software is.

Lots of negativity towards k8s in here. It's always funny to me when $WILDLY_POPULAR_TECH gets ripped apart like this, as though no one has ever had a positive experience with it. I've seen similar pile-ons for React, microservice

Good reminder to choose model-agnostic tooling!

Strong article! I’ve been using the engine/car analogy for a while now. If you want to play with the basic building blocks of coding agents, check out https://github.com/OpenHands/software-agent-sdk

It's probably just as hard to secure OpenClaw as this, but you'll find better tutorials for securing OpenClaw

The prompts contain e.g. a terminal UI, which gives you root access to the machine. If someone can access that UI and its backend, the can do whatever they want! So make sure to put it behind a firewall or basic auth or something else.

A reasonably sized OSS model that's this good at coding is a HUGE step forward. We've done some vibe checks on it with OpenHands and it indeed performs roughly as good as Sonnet 4.5. OSS models are catching up

This is why it's worth investing in a model-agnostic setup. Don't tie yourself into a single model provider! OpenHands, Toad, and OpenCode are fully OSS and LLM-agnostic

That's the idea! We have a confirmation_mode that can interrupt at any step in the process.

Spoiler: it's not actually that easy. Compaction, security, sandboxing, planning, custom tools--all this is really hard to get right. We're about to launch an SDK that gives devs all these building blocks, specifically oriented ar

I’d like to see a “no jerks” license. It’d be MIT by default, but call out specific bad actors as being disallowed from using the software. That way your average corporate user wouldn’t need to consult a lawyer before adopting

If you're interested in running agents (specifically for software dev) inside a sandbox, OpenHands [1] runs in Docker by default, and can run on Kubernetes or on a raw VM. It gets access to the standard tools (e.g. file ops, bash) as w
