Linux adoption among programmers is about to go parabolic. Any missing app can be recreated easily. The open-source advantage with agents is unstoppable. Nobody is going to be waiting for Apple to sign their shit. Just keep a Mac Mini as a remote builder for iOS work. Done.

Why are people totally missing out on Cursor Cloud agents. Why are they buying mac minis or using VPSs, why why why.

Why would you get a Mac Mini for OpenClaw, and restrict yourself to a single agent? Get a @Beelinkofficial, setup Proxmox, and you'll be able to run a whole team of claws on a single cheap box! https://t.co/vPuuN6tQ1s
