## Description



## Transcript

Is localhost dead? Stripe just published how their minions work. They spin up multiple dev boxes on EC2 that execute arbitrary code to ship features faster. Cloudflare is rolling out this workers update that has dynamic worker loading. It's still in beta, but it executes code in these like isolates that are not containers and they're not full VMs. They're these tiny sandboxed runtimes. That is not localhost energy like at all. The constraint is that localhost is one machine. If you have 10 agents modifying the same repo on one box, it's basically 10 engineers sshed into some shared mainframe like this is 1970. We went from one cloud session to launching multiple work trees in parallel. Devs want concurrency. Agents are becoming teammates. In fact, we have like teams of teammates and uh teammates don't share a single local host.
