Here's the announcement on the Fly blog: https://fly.io/blog/code-and-let-live/ - and the Hacker News thread for that post: >>46557825

I wrote about this because it hits two of my current obsessions at once - developer environment sandboxes (for safely running Claude Code etc in YOLO mode) and APIs for executing untrusted code.

Stupid question but why not use a local sandbox for yolo mode instead of a remote machine.

Is there a similar service that runs locally?

That seems fine if you have a box that's running all the time and something like tailscale set up. I haven't bothered because I'm lazy, but I do want any coding agents I have off my laptop and off the local network, because I'm a little wary about them getting subverted. They need Internet access anyway, so might as well.

Since I anticipate using coding agents a lot, that means my dev environment is going to live in a VM in the cloud from now on.
