HOW I BUILD · UPDATED NOVEMBER 2026
Close the laptop. The work keeps going.
My agents don't run on my laptop. They run on a server, and I drive them through T3 Code. I start the work at my desk and pick it up on my phone. That's the core of it.

The agents run on a VPS, not my laptop. The repos, the branches and the dev servers all live there. It doesn't sleep, so neither does the work.
One place to start agent threads, run several side by side on separate branches, and see what each one is doing and where it's stuck.
Start something at the desk, shut the lid, go and live. Nothing stops, because nothing was ever running on the laptop.
Same threads, same machine, from my phone. Read the diff, answer the question it's waiting on, open the preview, say yes or no.
The bottleneck isn't the model. It's you sitting at the desk.
Most people run their agents on the laptop in front of them. So the agent works when they work, and stops when they stop. They've got a tireless engineer and they've chained it to their chair.
Move the agents onto a machine that stays on and the maths changes. A job I start at the desk is waiting for review when I get back from training. Three branches move at once. When an agent gets stuck, it waits for an answer, and I can give one from my phone in thirty seconds.
None of it is clever. It's just taking the laptop out of the loop. The hours I get back go into the stuff that matters: the team, the training, being there.
If the work stops when I close the laptop, the setup is wrong. The laptop is a screen, not the computer.
The agents write most of the code. My job is the brief, the review and the call on what ships. Twenty years is better spent there.
Agents can work all night. Nothing goes live, no money moves and no words go out the door until a human says so.
I tried letting AI write email as me. Binned it in a week. People can smell it, and the value of a message from me is that I meant it.
AI supports. It doesn't lead.
