Solo dev shares 24/7 LLM agent setup: EC2 + tmux + overnight batch jobs

A solo developer shared their side-project LLM agent orchestration setup on Reddit and asked for community input:
- Always-on environment: a 24/7 EC2 instance, Linux + tmux for sessions, OpenCode as the main agent
- Remote control: a DIY Discord bridge into EC2 so they can drive agents on the go
- Task management: GitHub for issue tracking with mattpocock/skills; batch ready-for-agent tasks before bed to run overnight
Two pain points: even with grilling sessions and /wayfinder for design, the LLM still declares a design done prematurely, requiring extra fix cycles; and they want better queuing/batching for overnight runs (ideally at off-peak DeepSeek pricing hours).
