Zed founder on agent sandboxes: aggressive isolation means manual auth steps

zeeg · x · 2026-09-12

Zed editor founder Nathan Soller (zeeg) shared hands-on impressions of a coding agent: its sandbox is fairly aggressive — it can't initiate auth for a CLI tool since the sandbox network isn't reachable, forcing manual work, which he calls a minor but real inconvenience. He also notes everything so far ran on the "high" setting, and he'll try "max" next.
