hardware-accelerated, WebCodecs-powered, 60fps H.264 streaming pipeline over WebSockets and replaced it with grim | curl when the WiFi got a bit sketchy.

I think they took https://justuse.org/curl/ a bit too serious.

We’re building Helix, an AI platform where autonomous coding agents work in cloud sandboxes. Users need to watch their AI assistants work. Think “screen share, but the thing being shared is a robot writing code.”

Oh, they are all about useless tech. Why would you need to watch an agent code at 1080P 60fps using 40Mbps?

useless

People are paying them for it, so it's useful enough apparently.

Thanks, I was confused about why the helix editor might need screen sharing. Haha.

I was thinking the mattress company. Totally different vibes if they are needing to send video....

Yup, crazy. I record all my coding screencasts at 15 fps and it looks fine while the video file is tiny.
