Sandbox infrastructure APIs desperately needs inter-sandbox mesh networking. Agents should be able to spin up sandboxes for different components and test them the way these systems run in the real world. This would also enable engineers to create ad-hoc environments for applications that depend on many backend services. That’s far better than trying to run everything on a laptop, or wiring tests to endpoints in staging/dev environments.

I want to work with you (and invest $100k) if you… 1/ are building solo 2/ feel what you’re building is a calling, not work 3/ have paying customers (or have a good reason you don’t yet / building a moonshot) DM me about the upcoming Solo Founders Program

@Principal_ADE @aidenybai Exploring something similar, would love to hear your thoughts

@aidenybai Telemetry Verifiable Plans will fill this gap

been running coding agents for long horizon (48h+) tasks without deterministic + cheap verification to work against, agents cheat and fail path to ultra long agents require deterministic feedback

The next great founder isn't who you expect. They're building something weird in their home right now. No fancy degree. No connections. Little followers count. Just pure obsession with an idea that keeps them up at night. I'm looking for them.

It's never been a better time to bootstrap to a massive outcome or be ridiculously ambitious and raise a ton of money. The middle is an absolutely awful place to be. Most people are building in the middle when they should go left or right.

You accidentally say "Hello" to Claude Opus 4.7 and it consumes 4% of your session limit.

The full data stack in 2026: Parquet on S3, DuckDB for querying, Arrow for in-memory computation and transport. You can build serious data infrastructure with just these three things.

I thought I was an engineer, but now I'm just begging a bunch of floats to do something.

@lucasmeijer We’re now glorified slot machine addicts

Never quit as a founder. I’m begging you. It’s 0 for longer than you’ll ever expect. No momentum. Soul-crushing doubts. Nobody seems to care. Even when it looks like it’s working, it’s not. You keep trying new things. You don’t lose hope. Then it snaps to 100. You finally find the one thing that resonates. You wake up with more customers than you can handle. Everything is breaking. Momentum keeps building even when you’re not pushing. Something changed. You didn’t get lucky, you just didn’t leave.

Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit. Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe. But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope. I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit? Nope. Not buying it. PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

I spent 7 years helping people finding co-founders (1,000 startups, $10B) Then I went all-in on Solo Founders. Solo Founders Podcast ep 8 live. I swapped seats and was interviewed by @davj (solo founder of @Fondocom) We talk about: 01:46 The Co-Founder Myth & Origins of ODF 06:23 The Moment That Sparked Solo Founders 08:30 The New $100K Investment 12:31 Why There's No Demo Day 17:34 Solo Founders Program 20:59 Why Startups Really Implode 27:15 The Solo Founding Trend & Denominator Delusion 30:55 When to Raise a Seed Round 32:10 True Solo, Free Solo, Juiced Solo 36:40 The Tailwinds Behind Solo Founding 40:03 The Bear Case for Solo Founding 43:12 The Bull Case: The Company Only Dies If You Do 47:14 Solo Together, Not Solo Alone 49:08 Outro & How to Apply

the reminders to work on the thing you’re most obsessed with will continue until you stop trying to rationally plot your career path once and for all

@nikunj @adisingh Last year tried to work on the app layer, this year moving down the stack

@adisingh a) infrastructure for agents b) products built for agents Agentic startups are a misnomer in my books 🤷‍♂️

It’s pretty volatile out here. What are the agentic startups you’re most bullish on to survive and thrive?

@confusedqubit @evandotsh Are you handling container based isolation only?

@confusedqubit @evandotsh Ah! then how are you tackling this?

AI sandboxes on spot instances will become the de-facto standard by the end of 2026 - once you can run a sandbox at a 70% discount, no one can really compete with you. The sandbox wars will be decided on price, as so many things are

@evandotsh @confusedqubit What I’ve read, nested virtualization is inferior performance wise compared to non nested ones.

@devdjm @confusedqubit c8i, r8i and m8i all support nested virtualization
