Ep 1 - Jatin from AWS

from First Principles · host Zeeshan

Episode 1 — Jatin Mehrotra (Developer Advocate, AWS)What does it actually take to advocate for technology you've run in production yourself?Jatin Mehrotra spent five years in the trenches of cloud infrastructure, EKS, Terraform, CI/CD, before becoming a Developer Advocate at AWS. In this first episode, we get into what separates advocacy that engineers trust from marketing in a hoodie: writing code samples that don't rot, demoing systems honestly, and knowing what's worth going deep on.Then we turn to agents. Jatin's recent work makes the case that you can safely let an AI agent execute its own code by isolating it in a microVM. We take that as settled and push past it: once containment is solved, what about correctness? An agent can run code that's perfectly sandboxed and still confidently produce the wrong answer. That's the gap I spend my time on at EigenCloud, and it's where this conversation gets interesting.A conversation about building, shipping, and trusting what agents actually do
