Dots adds multi-machine control; veteran user asks how it beats his SSH setup
gandamu_ml · x · 2026-11-10
Dots announced that its coding agent can now control many machines in addition to the small cloud computer it provides by default. Longtime user gandamuml replied that he's been doing this since the earliest CLI coding apps: telling the agent over SSH which machines to access and what to do on each, sometimes even wiring up communication between multiple CLI apps.
He suspects Dots' version is better but can't articulate why, asking for an explanation. The exchange highlights the core question in multi-machine agent orchestration: the capability is easy to DIY — the value lies in how a platform handles state sync, permissions, and coordination between machines.
