If I’m buying a Mac mini, I think the sweet spot is M6, 32 GB memory and 256 GB SSD. Apple’s SSD prices are ridiculous, so I’d rather add a 2 TB external SSD. It should be plenty for Codex and Claude, with room to play a bit with local models too.

More people than I expected are suggesting running agents on Linux VMs and giving them access to a remote Mac for iOS and Mac development. But at ~$249/month for a Mac at MacStadium, or per-minute pricing elsewhere, I think it’ll get expensive fast for personal projects.

Unless OpenAI gives me a compelling reason not to on Tuesday, which I think is very likely, I think it’s time to buy a Mac mini and go all-in on remote agents running on self-hosted hardware. We all need to leave agents stopping when you close your laptop in 2026.

I shouldn’t have said “when you close your laptop.” That confused the point. It’s not about closing the lid. I want my agents working when my laptop is in my backpack or offline. They can’t depend on my laptop. I need a Mac that’s always available.

Here’s a random Danish guy dropping into my replies suggesting I shouldn’t optimize my agent setup because, translated, he says I don’t build anything of value. It’s 2026 and his bread and butter is building WordPress themes. This place is amazing 😁

What's everyone's favorite way to run coding agents in the cloud or on self-hosted Macs?

There’s another game on the App Store called Wavy Road, and I fear that might cause me troubles and confuse players. What should I call my game? Pavey Road?

I could also just YOLO it and keep Wavy Road 🤷‍♂️

I want Wavy Road’s About screen to feel a little like the end credits of a game, while still being personal and including the usual boring version-number stuff. I think it’s getting there.

Here’s a very old and very broken part of App Store Connect. Supposedly, we can remove people from Game Center leaderboards. It just doesn’t work, and no one seems to have visited this page in years.

I like when power-ups in Wavy Road give the game a very different look for a short period of time. Here’s what the Ghost power-up looks like 👻

Super intrigued by WoW: Forever's controller support. I haven't played WoW in over 15 years, but I'd love to casually play WoW on my living room TV with a controller. I don't own a Steam Deck or a Steam Machine. Do I have any good options? Connecting my MacBook to a TV?

I’ve found a domain name so good that now I have to build the thing.

ego is going to be the career-killer of the next decade. experienced people too stubborn to learn. polished people too cool to be cringe. people who take pride in being on the edge hiding how behind they are. know nothing! learn everything! be free!

Is it just me or is Safari on the Duo… ugly? The right toolbar wastes a ton of space, and the Liquid Glass buttons just float over a solid background. This doesn’t emphasize the content, as the new design language is supposed to. It feels like Safari didn’t get much love.
This is going to require a lot of work.

The cider festival has turned out to be a great excuse to do a bit of user testing for Wavy Road on my girlfriend 😄
