As mentioned in Toy Projects I have a Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100, 16GiB of RAM. 500GB NVMe SSD).

I’m managing it using AI. To give root permissions to an agent felt crazy at first. Now I don’t want to go back.

The setup

Networking

Tailscale for VPN. Installed everywhere: on the server, personal laptop and phone. It’s extremely easy to get it up and running. Like, 5 minutes and it’s all done.

It’s incredible how much can you do with AI. I’m having so much fun lately, that it’s unreal; the speed, the progress… it is crazy.

I’ve been working on small projects. Some of them took an afternoon. Other took a little bit longer.

10 years ago it was not the case. Those projects would take weeks to completion. I would often not finish them.

With the use of AI, I feel 10x. I finish them without problems or friction. I release them with ease. Modifications and adjustments take no time. It’s fun.

Lets make some assumptions about the future:

• Agent’s contexts will be irrelevant. No “dumb valley”. No 1M tokens max.
• Token generation will be virtually free (100€/month/dev for unlimited tokens).
• Token generation will be virtually instant. Time for mid-effort tasks: 1 second max. Time for high-effort task: 20-30 seconds max.
• Current bottlenecks will be solved: code reviews, agentic code non-maintainability, security issues, deployment, error detection/automatic fixing, …

The following are my predictions. This will be a live post that will update as I have more ideas. In 2 year’s time (2028-10-26), I’ll check which ones are correct.
