🎙️ Podcast with Framework Venture Partners
I recently sat down with Mikhail Karmali from Framework Venture Partners for a wide-ranging conversation recorded at my kitchen table. 🙂 We discussed how the LLM era is compressing traditional SaaS models faster than many appreciate. The cost and complexity of building software has fallen dramatically, yet the enterprise buy-vs-build bar has never been higher. Listen to it on Spotify!
I would love to hear your thoughts, reply directly to the newsletter.

Let’s Discuss Sandbox Isolation
Notes: Highly relevant article detailing the differences between each sandbox isolation method. Personally, I use full virtual machines for each of my coding agents with an isolated non-root user account within that VM. Each VM can’t connect to anything in my local network (enforced at multiple layers), and only has access to specific IPs pulled from DNS records that are refreshed every day. I took inspiration from Claude Code’s .devcontainer, but went further than Docker containers. Docker has a microVM feature in “experimentation” mode, but they aren’t easily customizable, so full VMs it is!
