Engineer victorialslocum, known for writing on search, memory and agents, joins open-source networking company NetBird as an Open Source Engineer, moving one layer down to networking.
- Her thesis: nearly every agent system eventually reaches real resources — databases, internal APIs, tools behind MCP servers — usually via pasted API keys, flat VPNs where everything talks to everything, or forgotten open ports
- Most companies still rely on legacy VPNs to manage employees, contractors and now autonomous agents; teams often can't say what their agents can reach or cost, and LLM API key management is worse
- She plans to explore secure networking, home labs, local AI, and what to do when an agent goes rogue
