    Ep. #11, Why Agents Need Computers with David Crawshaw

    On episode 11 of High Leverage, Joe Ruscio speaks with David Crawshaw about the shift from traditional developer infrastructure to agent-native computing. David traces lessons from founding Tailscale to now building exe.dev around the idea that “agents need a computer.” The conversation explores why VMs may be the right primitive for AI coding agents, why deployment friction becomes unacceptable when software can be generated in minutes, and how agent-driven development changes code review, production workflows, security, and the economics of personal software.
