Three Coding Agents, One Deploy
· 8 min read
Short answer: all three agents deployed the app, unaided, in a sandbox with no hints and no custom instructions file. None of them failed on the platform. They all lost time on the same five rough edges in the CLI and the install script, and those are the interesting part.
We shipped the Hostim CLI this month. It was written with coding agents as first-class users, and dogfooded by deploying 30 open-source apps with it. Then I tested whether that actually works, by handing the job to agents that had never seen it.
