Another reason not to run coding agents on your laptop, they can wipe all your files! Although in this case they'd have wiped my server, but at least I have backups

The AI infrastructure conversation is shifting. It is no longer just “who has GPUs?”. It is becoming: Own your weights. Own your data. Own your intelligence. AI-native companies want openness, portability, performance, and control without giving up developer velocity or cost efficiency. That is exactly why we built @digitalocean as the AI Native Cloud: infrastructure, cloud services, inference, data, and agents in one open, integrated stack for production AI workloads. With Q2 revenue growth expected to accelerate to ~29% and RPO up more than 10x YoY, the signal is clear: builders are choosing platforms that go beyond bare-metal GPU rental and help them scale real AI businesses. The AI Native cloud era is here and it will be open, flexible, and built for builders.


Agents are starting to change the shape of cloud infrastructure. The current wave of AI is about generating tokens. The next wave is about executing work. Agents will think, call tools, use memory, query databases, coordinate workflows, and run inside secure CPU-based environments. So the infrastructure stack for AI can’t stop at generating tokens. It needs CPUs, memory, storage, networking, databases, sandboxes, inference, and orchestration working together. As token demand explodes, agentic workloads could become orders of magnitude larger than human-driven workflows. See my full interview here youtube.com/watch?v=5AoN_r…


One startup shifted their entire work schedule to 1am to 10am local time. The rationale: 80% of the world’s population is asleep during those hours and they believe ChatGPT and Codex make fewer mistakes in that window of time as all of the compute is under-utilized.
