Vibecoding your Own Multi-Agent Workstation

I miss spending hours tuning my IDE, my dotfiles, my neovim setup, my PS1 prompt, my tmux config. In 2023, my workstation was hyper-customized to my preferences and needs.

Now that agents write all my code, that work has gone in the bin.

At the same time, there are hundreds of new AI-powered dev tools on the market: IDEs, CLIs, web interfaces, Claws.  All of these force me into new and uncomfortable ways of working, with limited options for customization.

Fortunately it's never been easier to build exactly the developer experiences we want, from scratch!

So I vibecoded my own AI-powered workstation, combining elements from Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, OpenClaw, and a few experiments of my own. It's become my daily driver, and I finally feel like I can maintain flow state while coding with agents. Once again I have a personalized dev environment that fits me like a glove.

I'll walk through my reasons for building my own AI-powered devbox, the technologies I used, and best practices for iterating. We'll also live-code a new feature into my devbox!
