⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Docker Sandboxes enable true AI agent autonomy (YOLO mode) with ironclad microVM isolation—no more rogue commands.
  • Boosts productivity: 60% more PRs merged, agents handle full workflows from clone to tested PR.
  • Standalone, works with Claude Code, Copilot CLI, OpenClaw; predicts they'll become the standard agent runtime like JVM for Java.
