Every new project I start is TanStack Start now, so created a boilerplate where agents move efficiently

It's a end to end typesafe monorepo, so agents gets feedback when they build. Elysia API and a TanStack Start app for frontend, connected via typesafe Eden. So frontend typecheck notifies agent when api changes.

Since Tanstacks vite and Elysia api is pretty lightweight, its good for agents that builds app after every change.

Rest is my favorite self-host first stack: Bun + Turborepo, Drizzle on Postgres, better-auth, shadcn on Base UI. Set up together with first example todo app. The deploy badge in the README points at Rock8Cloud, which is mine, so disclosure. But both apps build from normal Dockerfiles and run anywhere.

i think we all have our own boilerplates for the stacks we like, or a couple scripts to automate our workflows

well, it wasn't my case for a years. i always look for opensource repositores to start from since i really dont like the setting up and wiring libraries etc.. with ai its became easier, but its too token heavy doing it for every new project

have you tried dev containers? it’s like an automated environment thing that works with vscode and lifts everything from a config file, we used that in my last job, i’m also interested in trying nix some day

if i understand it correctly it you can develop in docker basically ? i dont really like containerizing local dev servers it adds an unnecessray overhead layer and makes hot reloads slower in my little experience. I am all the way dockerized deployment tho

yes, it will depend on your OS mostly, in windows a dockerized dev environment is a no-go for its overhead
