In Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2024)Hi,
I'm a co-founder of E2B and we just released a simple way to run LLM-generated code in a sandboxed environments powered by Firecracker microVMs [0].
You essentially just import the `run_code` method, select a runtime and pass the code. We run it and return stdout and stderr. Without worrying about any infra.
A lot of E2B is open-source and we're on a track to open source our whole infra. [1]
