Orbs: Shifting Coding to Cloud — Quinn Slack, Amp Code

Sep 7, 2026 · 40:14

Quinn Slack, CEO of AMP (spun off from SourceGraph), argues mandatory code review and local dev are dead now that agents run remotely in AMP's new Orbs product. Slack says AMP's 20-person trusted team ships fixes 15 minutes after a log or customer report instead of waiting on review, and has stopped using GitHub issues and pull requests, predicting 'the days of CI as we know it are numbered.' He argues cloud sandboxes with time-limited OIDC tokens are more secure than developer laptops, demos agent-built 'apps' replacing settings screens, and previews 'jellyware'—internal tools anyone can remix with their own agent. He recounts spinning AMP off from SourceGraph—rare since Yammer left Geni in 2009—keeping investors in both companies, and staying profitable without hiring PMs or marketers.

Why Every Agent needs Open Source Cloud Sandboxes

Vasek Mlejnsky, CEO of E2B, explains how his company grew from 40,000 sandboxes in March 2024 to 15 million in March 2025 by providing cloud sandboxes for AI agents. Originally built from DevBook's interactive docs playground, E2B now serves use cases from code interpreting and data analysis to Computer Use and reinforcement learning with Hugging Face's Open R1. The sandboxes are general Linux VMs with fast startup, security isolation, and persistence, handling untrusted code and allowing forking/checkpoints for parallel agent execution. Mlejnsky discusses the LLMOS landscape, pricing challenges (moving from token-based to value-based), MCPs as higher-order tools, and why he relocated from Prague to San Francisco to be closer to users. E2B is hiring across engineering and customer success as it aims to become full-lifecycle infrastructure for LLMs.
