Developer David Crawshaw says moving all his work to exe.dev made his life "1000x better." exe.dev provides durable, API-first sandboxes: reserve a pool of vCPUs/memory, SSH in as root with apt and systemd, VMs that are persistent, private by default and shareable — plus a built-in web coding agent called Shelley. Testimonials include Filippo Valsorda vibecoding a FIPS 140 validation backoffice with Opus 4.5 without reading the code, and users coding remotely from their phones and dropping Copilot.
