IBM Brings Bob to Self-Hosted and Air-Gapped Environments: Agentic Software Development Without Moving Your Code

- IBM’s “Bob” is GA for air-gapped shops, letting enterprises keep code off the public net while agentic devs chew through legacy Java and mainframe spaghetti. You bring your own model—Nemotron or Poolside Laguna for true isolation, or route to Claude/GPT if you’re feeling reckless. It’s not crypto, but it’s digital infrastructure armor against the bloat of cloud dependency. While moonboys chase the next L1 from nowhere, banks are finally automating their debt without leaking secrets to the void. BobShell handles the grunt work; humans handle the existential dread. Where's my cut? This is just enterprise efficiency with a higher price tag. Stay sovereign, or get liquidated by compliance.
