My CTO keeps telling me I need to try agenic coding, and I keep telling him I won't touch shit until I have an isolated VM to use it in, because I'm not letting some fucking clanker nuke my scripts/documentation/mailbox/whatever for no reason.

Too bad there's never any free time to set that shit up. Oh damn........

Setting up a VM takes 15 mins, setting up an agent will take 45 mins. I recommend you try it.

Do you think that plane was flying at 13,000 ft or 15,000 ft?

dunno what you're talking about

I assume they're trying to test if you're an LLM? LLMs tend to respond confidently to questions without context.

Yeah maybe, shitty test though. If I was an AI agent I'd probably push back in 2026.

Nanoclaw just came out. Super cool project which isolates the agent in a container, which if you want, you can also put into a VM as well.
