ROI is measurable. Velocity is visible. But what about joy? Robert Whiteley, CEO of Coder, shares a moment you don’t often hear about in AI rollouts: A team workshop where something deeper happened. Employees weren’t just intrigued. They were lit up. Sharing demos. Creating together. Right then and there. That’s what happens when GenAI feels not just powerful, but approachable. And it’s a signal that transformation is already taking hold.

We're live now: Coder Launch Week Keynote: Securely scaling AI agents

We’re going live with Coder’s AI launch keynote live-streamed right here on LinkedIn. Join us from Coder HQ where Ben Potter and Stephen Kirby will share how Coder is evolving from a cloud development environment into an AI-first developer platform. What to expect: ▪️ Why AI-native dev environments matter for modern engineering teams ▪️ How Coder fits into the AI developer toolchain ▪️ New capabilities designed for AI agents and AI-enhanced workflows ▪️ A demo of Coder powering an AI agent to analyze and resolve real issues We’ll close with live Q&A so you can dig into AI, platform engineering, and how Coder can fit into your stack. Register for the live-stream here on LinkedIn.

Most enterprises are trying to adopt AI agents on infrastructure that wasn't built for them. The result? Developer laptops that can't handle autonomous agents running 24/7. Shadow AI proliferating across siloed teams with zero visibility. Security teams with no way to govern what agents can access. And platform leaders stuck choosing between innovation and control. This isn't a tooling problem. It's an infrastructure problem. This week, we're introducing a few new additions to the Coder platform that makes it purpose-built for enterprises running hybrid human + agent teams: ▪️ AI Bridge gives you one dashboard for all AI usage. Track spending, monitor access, and audit everything across every model and team. ▪️ Agent Boundaries adds firewalls for AI agents. Control exactly what they can access and block what they shouldn't. ▪️ Coder Tasks provides reliable execution for long-running AI jobs. No babysitting required. It's time to rebuild the foundation.

Most AI agents run locally with full access to your laptop. Emails. Slack. Customer data. All fair game unless you’ve locked it down. At Coder, we do it differently. Agents run in isolated sandboxes, governed by enterprise-grade controls and deployed in your infrastructure of choice. Centralization isn’t just about performance. It’s your first line of defense. Robert Whiteley, CEO of Coder, explains why the most secure GenAI starts with infrastructure.

For developer experience to work, the C-suite has to get it. The best organizations have CTOs who log into the developer platform, use the tools, and engage with the wider developer community. They understand why these investments matter. When there's no C-suite buy-in, proving value through metrics becomes critical. But AI creates a new opportunity. For the first time, you can show executives what you're working on in ways they can actually see and understand. Open your environment. Show them the tools. Demonstrate how processes improve. AI makes it easier to bring leaders closer to the work. Use that to build understanding and secure buy-in. Don't tell them. Show them. ◼️ Ben Potter

AI is disrupting the developer ladder. Junior and mid-level roles are shrinking. Senior engineers get more productive. But where do you find the next wave of system thinkers? Rob Whiteley proposes two paths: ◼️ Cross-skill citizen developers into engineers ◼️ Train engineers in AI and product thinking Either way, the pipeline isn’t linear anymore. It’s time to build talent horizontally.

"Context makes it smart. Boundaries make it safe." When it comes to the power of AI, Robert Whiteley puts it simply. That’s how developers can trust it. That’s how non-developers can use it. That’s how enterprises unlock value at scale. And that's the foundation of Coder’s mission: Create environments where AI can do its best work without compromising security or control.
