HamelHusain · x · 2026-07-31
Hamel Husain and Adam Azzam are hosting a free virtual lesson titled "Don't build agents, build environments instead."
The session focuses on setting up agent sandboxes using the Modal compute platform. Key takeaways will include:
- Fast cold starts: Leveraging Modal to hand a coding agent a fully configured computer in seconds.
- Reliability and security: Preventing workspace breakage during long jobs and keeping secrets out of the agent's reach.
- Build vs. Buy: Providing a map of tradeoffs to help teams decide what to build in-house versus use existing tools.
