Navigating the World of AI-Assisted Coding: My Journey
As a tech enthusiast, I’ve always struggled to trust code generation tools. My commitment to code integrity led me to explore safer alternatives. Today, AI coding agents present both excitement and uncertainty.
Key Considerations:
- Traditional development environments like Django and Rails require detailed oversight.
- AI tools, while promising, often lack deterministic logic and verifiability.
- Security risks, including privilege escalation and side-channel leakage, remain a concern.
My Solution:
- I created Agent VM, a Nix-based virtual environment tailored for AI-assisted coding.
- Features include:
- A single command for deployment.
- SSH access with limited user privileges to enhance security.
- Selective project mounting to control AI exposure.
Despite mixed results with current tools, I’m optimistic about enhancing my workflow.
