Why I am building a local coding agent | Pekka Enberg (@penberg) on X my note

The motivation:
What I want, alongside Claude Code, is a coding agent that:
- Does what I tell it to do. Sandboxing is critical, but it’s something the operating system should enforce, not the coding agent.
- Runs locally, even offline. My code stays on my machine, there are no usage limits, and I can use it whenever I need it.
- Gets the job done. A local coding agent has to get real work done.
