davidcrawshaw · x · 2026-10-23
exe.dev offers a novel DX: ssh exe.dev drops you into persistent, shareable, secure sandbox VMs with root, apt and systemd, backed by a reserved vCPU/memory pool. It ships a built-in web coding agent (Shelley) and Google Calendar/Gmail integration using one-hour scoped tokens. Filippo Valsorda praises vibecoding a full backoffice without reading the code; HN reactions are split.
