    Could someone explain to me what the general workflow is now that people are converging to? I haven't really been catching up with the AI ecosystem but I was looking into agent sandboxes and VM's recently and there's a ton of these startups and tools now. Is giving the agent a temporary scratchbox really that valuable?

    I've been still just like, making VM's with proxmox, then putting my agent in the machine and letting it run free (with my dotfiles setup script making dev env pretty much free, though I could also just make a VM snapshot). What's wrong with that? Is that not the scalable solution for enterprise rn?

      The goal is "ticket in JIRA -> solution in production" without human intervention. Right now agentic frameworks are multiplying to bring us closer to that solution like JavaScript frameworks did ~10y ago. We still haven't uncovered the "React" of this space yet, the one that business decides is good enough to standardize on.

        What do you mean by the "React" of this space? The overall base layer has more or less converged on Kubernetes + MicroVM, which makes total sense. But if you mean how to interact with it as well as how permissions should work, yeah I agree.
