A new age of shareware is here. I'm talking about weird software, everything from flying toaster screensavers to malware hiding inside BonziBuddy distractions. I'm excited.

The new Lambda MicroVMs are the kind of compute I've been abusing inside GitHub actions, isolated kernels executing user land code in a sandbox.
I'm a specialist in the final mile of automation. What is that you say? I can confidently copy paste environment variables into a web console.
Instead of giving agents Sisyphean loops, try gentle parenting. "We don't eat YAML, buddy. Let's talk about what happened."
