| You should be containerizing your dev environments these days even if you're not using LLMs - supply-chaining is getting too insane to follow. No dev tools installed outside of VM/containers on my machines. I'm even paranoid about VSCode because of plugins. |

| Option A: If you have a tiger in your room then make sure it's properly caged. Put up warning signs so everyone knows. Add physical barriers to prevent people too young or impaired to read the warning signs from approaching close enough for the tiger to reach out of the cage and maul them. Ensure adequate processes are in place for feeding the tiger at regular intervals using a safe method and clearing out the mess from the cage. Provide noise protection for everyone in the building so they don't get freaked out when the tiger complains vocally about its situation. Take into account evolving animal rights legislation and ensure adequate processes are in place for the tiger to exercise freely in a large open space. This open space will also need to be protected by safety barriers and warning signs as well as supervised by trained operators able to contain a wild tiger if it gets loose and deal with any injuries or damage it causes. Budget for all of this and ensure there is a long term plan for maintaining the tiger and everything that goes with it. Option B: Do not put a tiger in your room. |

Designate specific areas where the machine are allowed to move. Train parents to keep their children or impaired away from those areas. Ensure adequate processes are in place from training the drivers of the machines so they know where they are allowed to drive and where not. Take into account evolving environmental regulations. Ensure safety barriers are used in areas where the vehicles are liable to lose control. Place signs around to remind forgetful drivers of the specific rules of driving in a specific area, or issues such as ice and snow that could cause the vehicle to crash. Make sure drivers pay large insurance premiums to ensure they can pay for any damages caused by their vehicle. Give traffic police their own vehicles in order to apprehend anyone not following the rules. Budget for all of this and ensure there is a long term plan for maintaining the car and everything that goes with it. Option B: Walk everywhere | | |

| Containerizing sucks when you want to work on something containerized. If your goal is to have the agent iterate on a container it's much less headache to just put the whole thing in a VM and let it `docker build` and `docker run` whatever it wants to. |

| ▲ | rafaelmn a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Agreed but I haven't found a nice cross platform way to share VM setups. Like I can setup a sandboxed compose dev environment for all my coworkers and tell them use this to recreate our app environment locally and it's already configured with skills/config for agents to find their way around it. Ideally I would just compose up the infra and let agents run in the host VM but there's nothing as idiot proof as docker compose that works on windows/mac/linux/whatever the new guy prefers to run. So I incus my devboxes and just run agents inside, but I compose work stuff | | | |
