MacBook m1/m2 also are cheap enough now vs an Mac mini which I was surprised about, not too surprised but yeah..
Never really get good answers. There is no killer app. Just bikeshedding.
Why would I need an LLM to do this for me? That’s 5 minutes of work max, and doing it gets me in the flow of work again, to see what’s going on and needs to be done.
For the folks I talk to who use a LLM for this that seems to be the case. Takes a huge cognitive load off every morning and saves them an hour or two.
More or less a very expensive band aid over a bad work environment.
I kinda use it the same way in a sense. I have a little skill I run against our (horrible) task management system to summarize things and give me a punchlist to work through sorted by priority. This saves me thousands of clicks to do the same thing in the horrible web UI. A proper system in the first place would be a lot better!
At some point I’ll probably just take that to the next logical step and have the LLM write my own web interface to abstract and replace the horrible one entirely for me.
Please help: I wánt to need this!
I've used it to spin up a WoW private server (AzerothCore) in containers with docker compose and write an extremely easy to use script for managing it. I've used it to setup and configure a private "GitHub" (forgejo). Then to migrate one of my gamedev projects to git LFS. And after two days of hating my life because of lfs, I had it setup/configure a private S3 (seaweedfs) and migrate my repository over to it and rewrite the entire git history to extricate anything related to lfs. After struggling for a month to get wireguard working properly between all my PCs and a VPS, I finally had codex do it and now everything is running perfectly.
I think the benefit of having Claude/codex with full access is I can have an idea and have it set everything up within minutes tooling or infrastructure-wise and focus on the things I actually care about (software development). It's like having my own DevOps engineer, except I don't have to pay them a proper salary (yet).
I think I'm gonna be a late adopter on this one until the industry figures out a less cumbersome pricing model.
Like I want the LLM to have a bank account and he can do ANYTHING with that bank account that he wants. But he can't fuck anything up that has to so with me. He only has 2 - 5k

I’m actually very time-poor, so figured it could help be clawed back time doing… what exactly?
- scanning logs for errors and
- opening issues which are then auto-triaged and
- PRs are opened for them and auto-reviewed and
- merged (and deployed).
This workflow alone is immensely powerful, and takes alot of burden off the team.
ITSM those unsupervised workflows are essentially an attempt at purported productivity in the near term at the expense of meaningful incremental long term burden for teams.
The only ostensible benefit is in the eyes of the AI-psychotic tinkerer, who knows no better, or in those of the clout-chasing developer farming likes on their LinkedIn posts.
There's lots of news about the billions AI companies spend on data center construction, but it feels like it's not even a fraction of the money they're spending on endless nonstop blogs about how great their app is at doing... things. Things that will never be defined.
Maybe I should have the agent also do a background check.
PS: This is a joke, but feel free to steal this idea.
Then the openclaw WhatsApp module…
Kidding of course.

Running a helper from the terminal, making Claude work in a working directory, and then create a .commit file has been my workaround for this for a while now.
Imagine there's a better solution nowadays, but this allows me to use dispatch building on Vercel, so I can check it out from wherever, without too much pain.

I’d love to just have Claude use my machine as a sandbox host instead of having to run RC on each host session. (In case you are listening Boris ;) ).
In the meantime I have a janky master RC session that creates new tmux windows and Claude RC sessions for each new code trajectory that I want to run.
The other benefit here is you can drop down and use termux to use Code directly if you hit a RC bug, I found permissions UX to be a bit flaky in the iOS UI.
