At Gitpod we have always been pushing the boundaries of what cloud development environments (CDEs) can do. Starting tomorrow, you'll want to rethink what you know about CDEs.

I am so proud to finally share this with the world: we built CDEs again, from first principles. Gitpod Flex is the result of countless conversations, and deep care for our users, design and software development. I can't wait to see how you use the platform.

The very first design decisions we made when building Gitpod Flex was how we'd handle identity and trust across the system. These decisions have proven foundational in building our zero trust architecture for CDEs. Here's the deep dive: gitpod.io/blog/how-we-bu…

We are no longer using Kubernetes to build Gitpod. "Kubernetes is the obvious choice building automated and standardized development environments" is something I believed for a long time. Six years later we know better: gitpod.io/blog/we-are-le… With this move we become more

You still want your kids to learn how to problem solve with code. But traditional IDEs built for deep, singular immersion feel increasingly outdated. As agents handle larger tasks, we need novel interfaces for high-performance parallel, multi-track development. For decades we

Agentic software engineering is addictive. It has all the hallmarks of an addictive mechanism. It provides enough value to keep you hooked, and every once in a while, it is so good that you get that absolute dopamine flush. It's essentially a slot machine with better odds of

Gitpod is now Ona. Same people, different name, bigger ambition. Today, we're launching the mission control for your personal team of autonomous SWE agents.

Today we're refounding Gitpod as Ona. Today we're launching the mission control for your personal team of autonomous SWE agents. The team's been working incredibly hard to make this happen, and the outcome is fantastic.

What a great episode about Ona on Latent.Space! Have you tried Ona yet? It is so so good. 🄰🄰🄰 Christian Weichel puts it nicely: ā€œI’m now 3 times more productive on my phone than I was on my laptop 6 months agoā€ Of course Ona is not mobile-only, haha. youtu.be/qka_pUJz2KY?t=…

IDEs are built for deep mono-focused work. Efficient use of SWE agents requires parallelism. We need new interfaces that help us find flow in multi-tasking. Ona is such an interface. ona.com/stories/in-sea…

Evals for agents are like tests for non-AI systems: the test pyramid matters. Vibes top to bottom, codified tests bottom to top. Don't start with end-to-end evals. Vibe check your agent, then eval the tools, their interaction, then your agent.

Will we ever stop using IDEs? - swyx Here's what Christian Weichel had to say about how coding agents are fundamentally re-shaping the UX of developer tools on the Latent.Space Link for the full episode in the comments
