Episode notes
Don't Use OneDrive For Active Git Repos
- Avoid storing active Git repos inside OneDrive because it can corrupt your repository and create massive temp-file bloat.
- Clean up temp files and keep local repo hygiene to prevent long rebuilds and data-marriage headaches.
Temp Files Ballooned A Project
- Brian discovered a OneDrive folder had ballooned to 16 GB and 50,000 files of temp artifacts from Claude Code builds.
- He had to stop progress and manually reconcile files between drives and GitHub to recover his project.
Isolate Agents From Your Primary Machine
- Run experimental agents on separate hardware or isolated cloud instances to limit exposure to your primary machine and files.
- Use managed VPS or Cloudflare MoltWorker for inexpensive, sandboxed agent hosting instead of your daily workstation.
