I’m really starting to like exe.dev. It’s become a bit of a playground, where I can spin up and tear down ephemeral virtual machines to test things out. There’s an integrated coding agent, which I used yesterday to test out how well it went with building an app from scratch. Today I spun up a VM to test out a Pure Blog instance (the coding agent assisted with hooking up the site with Nginx, as I had no interested in dealing with the PHP setup myself). I would share you a link to it, but one other thing I discovered is that the HTTPS proxies to the VMs are private by default, so there’s no risk of spinning up a web-service that’s not ready, or intended for, the public internet.
