20. Coding Agent VMs on NixOS with Microvm.nix
I have come to appreciate coding agents to be valuable tools for working with computer program code in any capacity, such as learning about any program’s architecture, diagnosing bugs or developing proofs of concept. Depending on the use-case, reviewing each command the agent wants to run can get tedious and time-consuming very quickly. To safely run a coding agent without review, I wanted a Virtual Machine (VM) solution where the agent has no access to my personal files and where it’s no big deal if the agent gets compromised by malware: I can just throw away the VM and start over.
