Containing Agent Chaos — Solomon Hykes, Dagger
This talk addresses the chaos and complexity arising from the use of coding agents, particularly from the perspective of platform engineers who enable developers. It proposes a new approach to managing agents by leveraging containerization and Git-like versioning to create isolated, customizable, and collaborative development environments. The core idea is to provide agents with dedicated, manageable environments that allow for background work, clear constraints, seamless human intervention, and flexibility in choosing underlying tools and infrastructure.
