Anthropic — Agentic coding CLIs on local machines

history_edu The backstory

Local agentic coders can build apps on your machine, threatening cloud IDEs. Replit survived by leaning into Agent — a full build-and-deploy loop in the browser for people who don't want a local toolchain at all. The zero-setup hosting is the moat, not the code generation.
