Why this conversation

Cloud development environments were built for people. Ben Potter opened the show’s Thursday in Prague with the question of what changes when the developer at the keyboard is an AI coding agent, and where that agent should run. Thanks to Cassandra Jowett at Coder for setting it up.

When it comes out
