Talks
Sam Alba, Founder @ Dagger
Title: Coding Agents, Meet Containers - Run Experiments Without Wrecking Your Dev Env
Abstract: One issue with coding agents is they require constant supervision and can only work on one task at a time. Container-use is an opensource MCP server that gives coding agents their own containerized sandbox environment.
It allows developers to run several code experiments in parallel without altering the local dev environment. Developers then have the ability to inspect and merge changes as needed.
It's built Dagger for containerized workflows and Git worktrees for branching.
Graham McBain, DevRel @ SourceGraph
Title: Everything is changing
Abstract: Everything is changing. From how developers build to how we market to developers. In This talk I'll walk through some of the projects I'm currently building for fun and to challenge myself.
Vaibhav Gupta, Founder and CEO @ Boundary, a Y Combinator startup
Title: BAML - a new programming language for building agents
Abstract: The world had javascript, and then we invented typescript - and life was better. Today, we all write prompts as strings, but a lot of the tooling plain sucks. There's no type-safety, some tools require you to sign up, and the iteration speed is minutes for a single prompt. We made BAML because we wanted to take an engineering perspective on how programming with LLMs could be if you started from scratch. You write your AI part in BAML and write the rest of your software in any language of you love, (python, typescript, go, etc). BAML is completely open source, internet free, and some how we created a way to do tool calling better on any base models (without any fine-tuning).
