Developer questions what official multi-machine coding agent setup adds over DIY SSH workflows
gandamu_ml · x · 2026-11-10
Developer gandamuml notes that a newly shipped multi-machine feature is what he most wanted from Dots early on — he'd already hacked a similar (messier) setup in local project dirs. Since the earliest CLI coding apps, he's run agents across multiple machines by instructing them how to reach boxes via SSH and what to do, sometimes even letting CLI agents talk to each other.
His takeaway: he suspects the official version is better than his codex CLI + SSH workaround, but he doesn't see exactly how — and asks others to explain the difference.
