blog.exe.dev is the company blog for exe.dev, which sells fast-booting VMs reachable at vm-name.exe.xyz. The team is around nine people and uses agents heavily for product work, which is what makes the blog worth tracking: the posts are practice reports from a company whose own infrastructure is built the way the posts describe, not vendor commentary about how others might work.
Josh Bleecher Snyder writes there — long-time Go contributor, previously at commaok.xyz, where several of the ideas the company blog builds on were first worked out (the 2025 "Is Claude a Compiler?" question that claude-is-not-a-compiler finally answers, and the original differential-spec writeup behind differential-spec-analysis). Other posts cover the product side, including their move to multiple regions.
Distinct from crawshaw-blog, which is co-founder David Crawshaw's personal site at crawshaw.io. The two are complementary on the same subject: Crawshaw's agent-principal-agent-problem diagnoses why code review breaks under agents and gestures at the compensating machinery, and claude-is-not-a-compiler is a full worked instance of that machinery on a production system.
