Paula Dozsa, who creates AI at Tolan, says autonomous agent workloads are driving a shift back to local hardware
Some run dedicated Mac Minis 24/7 to process email.
Many users anticipate on-premises AI agent tools like local Claude deployments while others dismiss Mac Mini setups as performative or mock non-coders reinventing software history.

instead of using a "cloud" i just use a private cloud, which is, tailscale, cloudflare, and a bunch of programs running on my machines. mean time to failure is days
this is progress tho. i can feel it
kinda crazy that ai agents have us reinventing cloud computing from first principles. like wdym you have a mac mini running 24/7 just to manage your inbox
a temporary phase before we get claude computing
@paularambles the Tolan slack -> Paula post pipeline

@paularambles mac mini thing feels performative ngl
@paularambles good edit
@paularambles This is recursively true to I'm not sure how many stack pushes. I could (and will!) write a book about what you just said.
@paularambles claudeflare coming soon
@paularambles It's pretty funny watching non-coders reinvent the entire history of software development, lol.
Currently they're reaching the "modularize and document" stage...🤣
And that's exactly where the big dropoffs happen. Scale...is...hard.
@paularambles This too, God let it be soon.
