AI Agent Astra Codes Autonomously for 24 Hours Straight on an App Idea
LinusEkenstam · x · 2026-09-12
Linus Ekenstam let the AI agent Astra work overnight on an app they had sketched out together, after writing an extensive PRD. Astra has now been working nonstop for over 24 hours (it had already logged 17 hours when he went to bed). He admits he didn't expect it to keep going this long, joking the app "better be freaking amazing." A notable anecdote about coding agents sustaining long unsupervised work sessions on a full project.
