What Is a Sandbox and Why Agents Need It

In this episode of Dev Propulsion Labs, Daytona CEO Ivan Burazin reveals why he walked away from $300K ARR to rebuild his company from scratch for the age of AI agents. He explains why agents will outnumber humans "to the power of ten," how Daytona creates composable computers that agents can spin up on demand, and what it means to race competitors while the entire market moves at breakneck speed. Ivan shares hard-won lessons from 16 years building cloud development environments, starting with Codeanywhere in 2009 - a decade before the market was ready.
