Shopify dev turned agent wrangler

@waynesutton @bot source these parts

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

Why do I have to tell my @bot UCP exists? And it wants me to get a key to checkout on Shopify? @gilgNYC @poteto

Muse is my fav for shopping rn.

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@Michael_Fenech_ @bot read this and triage

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 Have you made any widgets or live activities yet?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 How were you doing Shopify before?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 What’re you using for this?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@Shpigford @ClaudeDevs Same, need to add another sub!

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

I’ve gone full circle as well, but on a longer time scale. Back in middle school I ran a Minecraft server and I had a network of Mac minis colocated in data centers across the USA. Now I’m back at the same thing for remote iOS and Mac OS builds and Linux boxes locally for dev. Driving everything from my phone. What a time to be alive!

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@amblinamber Beautiful, I’m working on something similiar for designers internally at an agency

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 Wait until you see how much the maxed out spec ones are!

If you’re looking at the base models might be better off with a Mac mini

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@rileybrown @agentnative_ What are you using for realtime talk?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 Yep, I have the same idea!

I want a 512gb Mac Studio once they’re out to run local models.

I currently have a Mac mini running all my dev work and builds so might laptop is lighter and can run from my phone

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@austriker27 Depends on if you want multiple hardware boxes or not.

If you have a separate iOS build Mac then I’d go Linux and anything will do, unless you’re dabbling in local ai?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@SebastianRoehl Yes! Use @t3dotcodes

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@Shpigford What’s your stack now?

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@TalktoHenryJ Also the cloud agents from Claude and codex take usage credits versus subscription inference

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

I do this now! I have a Mac mini running 24/7 connected on my tailscale network that I can open localhost dev links from my phone or laptop from anywhere.

I didn’t see why until a few weeks ago when I was maxing out CPU and memory on my MBP locally, and now I’m also able to keep a lighter laptop in my backpack, phone in pocket and have agents running remotely

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@jullerino Guess I’ll have to go back and give v2 beta a try

[Alec Ramos @alecramosnv]

@jullerino Does the SwiftUI test flight work?
