Explore how developer tooling must evolve for an AI-agent dominated future in this 15-minute conference talk from the AI Engineer World's Fair. Learn why traditional development tools like terminals, local machines, and dashboards are inadequate for AI agents, despite a quarter of Y Combinator's latest batch already using AI to write 95% or more of their code. Discover how Daytona eliminated the CLI and rebuilt their infrastructure from first principles to create agent-native development tools. Understand the fundamental shift needed as AI agents scale exponentially and will soon outnumber human developers by orders of magnitude. Gain insights into the real bottleneck facing AI development - not intelligence, but tooling designed for human rather than agent interaction. Examine practical approaches to building developer tools that AI agents can effectively utilize, because in an agent-native future, tools that agents cannot use will become obsolete. The presentation draws from the speaker's extensive experience co-founding Codeanywhere (the first cloud IDE in 2009), establishing Shift developer conference in Europe, and currently leading Daytona, a $7M-funded open-source platform that enables AI agents to programmatically and securely interact with runtime environments.
