Unless OpenAI wows him Tuesday, this dev is going all-in on Mac mini-hosted remote agents

Developer simonbs tweeted that unless OpenAI gives him a compelling reason on Tuesday — which he thinks is very likely — it's time to buy a Mac mini and go all-in on remote agents running on self-hosted hardware. His thesis: "We all need to leave agents stopping when you close your laptop in 2026." The post kicked off discussion about always-on agent infrastructure.
