Earlier this year, I built a custom souped-up rig to run all of my AI agents at home, regardless of where I am, and without consuming resources on my own machine. It’s headless, so I SSH into it as if it were a cloud-based VM. 10 docker containers to build and test code, all at once? No problem. A two hour drive to the city or to a customer site that would normally be lost productivity? Not even- my rig is chomping away at tasks while my Macbook lid is clammed shut and packed away.
