• Matt is moving away from a purely local dev setup because collaborative agent work needs more than one person and one terminal. 1:09:17
  • He wants agent sessions to live where teams already communicate, such as Slack, Discord, Teams, or Linear. 1:09:46
  • He works with remote agents from Discord, including while traveling, to build course material and fix student-reported bugs. 1:10:11
  • Remote environments can stay on, run schedules, and host routines like a morning standup with an agent. 1:10:36
  • Matt's local machine is mostly used to debug problems with the remote bot. 1:10:58
  • Cloud environments can make complex dev setups easier by provisioning resources on demand. 1:10:58
  • The host notes that companies with platform teams have moved local dev setups into cloud machines accessible from Slack or the web. 1:11:32
  • The host says those companies see high voluntary cloud-agent use, while frontend work may remain an exception because it needs fast visual feedback. 1:11:32
  • Matt argues that tunneled dev servers may make remote frontend workflows feel close to local workflows. 1:11:57
