Self-Host Weekly (11 September 2026)

Self-Host Weekly is sponsored by Coder. AI coding agents run on your laptop with your credentials, your network access, and no record of what they touched. Coder is open source and gives every agent a self-hosted workspace you define in Terraform, so your code never leaves the machines you own.

Nasty. I thought this was satire at first and had to read it back.

Seriously. I had to read that five times to see if I was missing sarcasm. What a fucking awful product.

Can you help me understand why this is awful?

If you’re serious… Essentially their AI impersonates you with impunity and keeps no records of what it’s done. Its a fucking security nightmare at best.

I was reading this as the solution or safeguard against that problem.
