  5. Our readingLetting a coding agent live-edit the production server works fine in practice.

    Their wordsBut now with Claude Code on my VPS in the last year, it just live edits on my production server, which sounds like it should go wrong but it just doesn't, it's very careful and only twice in 12 months messed up which meant my site didn't load for 10 seconds which is OK

  7. Our readingAI agents and AI coding will run on servers and from the cloud first, not on your laptop.

    Their wordsI agree with @theo completely, it's clear to me this is where it's going, also seeing @karpathy with Claude moving to the cloud (via Slack etc), I think AI "agents" and AI coding will operate on servers / from the cloud first
