A lot of the agent sandbox stuff I’ve seen is runtime focused, what are folks doing to seed these envs with reasonable/realistic data? (Any good write ups out there?)
Didn’t keep the podcast where I heard a founder say this, but it stuck with me- his most impactful unlock in outcomes came from reframing his mindset to enjoy solving the biggest problem he was facing. A great twist on what optimism actually is

100% the biggest jump I've had with coding agents is from the internal MCP server we have that allows it to go and nose around in all of our various observability / logging / workflow systems
The Fresh Prince of Donair@erisianrite.com · 4w agoNeat LLM trick I was able to do today: Over the weekend one of our cloud batch queues failed. This could be for any number of reasons, and usually requires quite a bit of log digging which does not jibe with my attention span. I asked my coding agent to investigate, it found what happened and gave
Time for a change, I'm giving zed.dev a spin. Now that most of my AI coding (agentic engineering?) is via the terminal it feels good to have a minimalist solution for the rest

Wild to read blog posts about Gradient Labs written by folks who aren't at Gradient Labs seriesastories.substack.com/p/the-sharpe...
The sharpest form of founder-market fit is having been the buyer. Gradient Labs’ founders ran customer operations and financial crime at Monzo, and now sell AI into that exact seat.
Gradient Labs raised a $13M Series A extension, doubling its Series A to $26M. Its three founders built Monzo’s data, machine-learning and financial-crime systems.
