Coding For You
Transform a fresh into a fully-configured coding environment. , OpenAI , Google : all pre-configured with 30+ modern developer tools. All totally free and .
The definitive guide to planning-first agentic development: decompose complex projects into beads, detect convergence, coordinate agent swarms, and ship 10× faster with the Flywheel approach.
New to the Flywheel? Start with just three tools — Agent Mail, beads, and bv. This focused guide covers the core loop that captures most of the methodology's value, without the full system's complexity.
A single command installs and configures your complete coding environment
A single command transforms your . No manual configuration, no dependency hell.
, , and , all configured with optimal settings for coding.
Re-run anytime. phases resume on failure. verified installers.
Passwordless with dangerous flags enabled for maximum velocity on throwaway environments.
Run 'onboard' after setup for guided lessons from basics to full workflows. Preview lessons
Twenty interconnected tools that transform multi- workflows. Each tool enhances the others.
The wizard guides you from "I have a laptop" to " are coding for me"
workflows need dedicated compute. A gives you a 24/7 server that's always ready.
AI agents consume significant RAM and CPU. Running them locally drains your battery and slows everything down.
Each agent uses ~2GB RAM. With 10+ agents, you need 48-64GB—more than most laptops have.
Cloud giants charge by the hour and make billing unpredictable. A dedicated VPS is simpler and cheaper.
A 64GB VPS costs ~$40-56/month flat. Equivalent cloud resources would cost 3-5x more.
Your VPS runs 24/7. Queue up tasks before bed, wake up to completed code.
AI agents can refactor, test, and iterate autonomously—compounding progress overnight.

Complete transparency: here's what you'll actually pay each month. The tools are free; you pay for the AI services.
64GB RAM Ubuntu server (Contabo, OVH)
64GB RAM for 10+ agents
Anthropic's Claude Code CLI
$400 for power users (2 accounts)
ChatGPT 5.2 Pro for extended thinking planning
Essential for plan documents
Estimated Monthly Total
$440 – $656/month
Consider: a junior developer costs $5,000+/month. For under $700, you get 10+ AI agents working 24/7, writing code while you sleep.
I'm Jeffrey Emanuel, and I built this because I was being inundated with requests from friends, older relatives, and strangers on the internet asking me to help them get started with using AI for software development.
I wanted one resource I could point people to that would help them "from soup to nuts" in getting set up; even if they have almost no computer expertise, just motivation and desire.
This is also a platform to share my suite of totally free, coding tools. I originally built these for myself to move faster in my consulting work with Private Equity and Hedge Funds. Now I want to help others be more productive and creative too.
