OpenAI's Windsurf deal is off – and its CEO is going to Google
Plus it’s straightforward to make Claude Code run agents in parallel/background just like Codex and Cursor, in local sandboxes: https://github.com/dagger/container-use

Building Effective AI Agents \ Anthropic
In at least the case for coding agents the emerging pattern is to have the agents use containers for isolating work and git for reviewing and merging that work neatly.
See for example the container use MCP which combines both: https://github.com/dagger/container-use
That’s for parallelizing coding work… I’m not sure about other kinds of work. I still see people using workflow builder tools like n8n, Zapier, and maybe CrewAI.

Use Copilot Agent Mode in Visual Studio (Preview)
Got this working in a preliminary way with local containerized environments for Copilot agent via https://github.com/dagger/container-use/pull/91. Going to fix it up, but could use some Windows wizards' support.

Agentic Coding Recommendations
https://github.com/dagger/container-use (cu) is improving daily. Happy to help get it working if you're hitting anything (we're all in dagger.io discord). Last night I tried it with Amazon Q Developer CLI chat (with claude-3.7-sonnet), which I hadn't touched before (will PR how-to to the README today). MCP integration just worked for me. Figured out where to put the agent rules for Q and how to restrict to just the tools from cu. I kicked off three instances of Q to modify my flask app project with the same prompt in parallel (don't step on the local source) and got three variants to review in short order. I merged the one I liked into the repo and tossed the rest.

I Program with Agents
> Overall, we are convinced that containers can be useful and warranted for programming.
Last week Solomon Hykes (creator of Docker) open-sourced Container Use (https://github.com/dagger/container-use) exactly for this reason, to let agents run in parallel safely. Sharing it here because while Sketch seems to have isolated + local dev environments built in (cool!), no other coding agent does (afaik).
