exe.dev offers durable dev sandboxes with built-in coding agent Shelley
davidcrawshaw · x · 2026-09-26
- exe.dev is a developer/agent cloud environment: buy a pool of CPU, RAM and disk, spin up VMs, SSH in as root with apt and systemd; servers are persistent, private by default, and IAM-shareable.
- It ships a built-in web coding agent, Shelley, usable from browser or phone.
- Early users rave: Filippo Valsorda vibecoded a FIPS 140 validation backoffice with Opus 4.5 without reading the code; some replaced Copilot with it. Hacker News critics were less kind about the website.
