pi for the win, i have my own ai extend it when i want more specific features. vibe coded in 20 minutes shift+tab like claude code to add permission control.

I find it so funny that many of these harnesses sound like black magic and are completely mystical to me. I use Claude Code every day and yet i can't imagine the workflow of Pi. I also don't care to pay API rates just to experiment with them.

Largely though i'm happy with Claude Code w\ IDE integration, so i don't feel the need to migrate. Nonetheless i'm curious.

I agree with you. I used maurten 160, 320, and the gels years ago.

Now I just throw honey into water on my runs.

It doesn't upset me even though maurten does feel a little better, its worth saving tons of money over buying maurten

This thing is insane i already made multiple songs in english and spanish, different genres

This is how I use Suno, guess I'll give this a fair try.

I do the same thing. Being immutable is supposed to be great for updates. New image version and if there's a problem you can boot back to the last version no problem.

But functionally, like you I find Ubuntu server fine. I run apt update and upgrade a couple times a year and its local only with tailscale access.

I find these immutable OS's really nice on laptop or desktop. The home directory is the only thing that can be written to so the OS is supposed to be more stable and can't break easily

I do the opposite:

My workstation is where I work, fiddle with things, experiment. It 's a workbench in the context of software development. So I need to be able to modify and configure everything, install things, uninstall them again. A can't use a workbench wrapped in cellophane.

I want my server stable and fixed. I don't care about the OS, I don't want to configure it, update it, and otherwise maintain it. It's just a platform to run the Docker Engine and my containers.

MicroClaw

I use pi.dev.

I get openai team plan at work.

Claude enterprise too.

I have openrouter for myself.

I use minimax 2.7. Kimi 2.6. And gpt 5.5 and opus 4.7. I can toggle between them in an open source interface that's how I stay able to not be trapped.

Minimax is so cheap and for personal stuff it works fine. So I'm always toggling between the nre releases

what about just personal stuff in a syncing interface, what do you use for that?

What's a syncing interface?

Completely unaffiliated but I just installed executor.sh today and it looks almost exactly the same

I haven't used executor.sh but this seems to operate at a different layer from Agent Vault.

From what I'm seeing, executor.sh is an integration and execution layer for agents. Where Agent Vault shines is that it fits right into the tools and workflows that your agents are already using in an interface-agnostic way: API, CLI, SDK, MCP.

Put differently, the MITM architecture of Agent Vault (operates more at the network‑layer) allows the sandboxed agent can do whatever it would've done normally, just all routed through AV - the agent is basically proxy unaware.

That's insane funding so congrats.

Just shows I'm the Dropbox commentator. I have what exe provides on my own and am shocked by the value these abstractions provide everyone else!! One off containers on my own hardware spin up spin down run async agents, etc, tailscale auth, team can share or connect easily by name.

Investment is done by relationships, belief in a future vision and team, and growth metrics like number of paying customers.

The technology itself in its current form is not valuable

Sobering comment for all the little people like myself who dream of owning a business based on a vision of cool tech that just does what it promises (as opposed to all the corporate shovelware out there)

Author here.

Almost every VC rejected us when we went to get seed funding for Tailscale, we knew none of them. Friends of friends of acquaintances got us meetings. Fundraising is very possible for you if you are committed to building a business. Most important thing is don't think of fundraising as the goal, it is just a tool for building a business. (And some businesses don't need VC funding to work. Some do.)

The biggest challenge is personal: do you want to build a business or do you want to work with cool tech? Sometimes those goals are aligned, but usually they are not. Threading the needle and doing both is difficult, and you always have to prioritize the business because you have to make payroll.

How did you eventually get funding after those initial rejections? What changed?

One VC (well, two) understood it. Despite what you hear, there is a lot of variation. Speak to a lot of people.

Surprising that a founding team as strong as Tailscale's had to go door-to-door to get seed funding in. Glad that Tailscale did & changed the industry like it ought to, though I'm sure, y'all would have managed to self-fund it either way.

You can still do that. Not every business needs to be a hyperscaling startup.

Agreed! Over at https://pico.sh we are chugging along and having a blast. Profitable but at a scale that is manageable for us. Cheers

Ha! This made me smile :)

on omarchy ill switch with super + / and use 1x, 1.6x and 2x when needed.

1.6x works surprisingly well now, that wasnt the case a couple years ago
