AI agents have officially arrived on an internet that simply wasn't built for them. So how do we build the infrastructure to keep them safe, productive, and contained? This week, Andrew sits down with Matt Boyle, Head of Product, Design and Engineering at Ona (formerly Gitpod), to discuss evolving cloud development environments into secure, enterprise-grade "agent jails." They explore the mechanics of Project Veto’s kernel-level security, the slow death of the traditional IDE, and how the rise of AI is transforming developers into full-stack, T-shaped product owners. Finally, Matt shares his vision for the future of the SDLC, detailing how organizations can safely balance strict compliance with the bleeding edge of autonomous software factories.
