The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“I think to some extent also like infrastructure over time anyway becomes and needs to be more programmatic.”
“I think that's always been a thesis about sandboxes, is that, you know, like things that you previously had to configure using YAML, that should just be an SDK.”
“That should be more like imperative, like launch a sandbox, like do stuff with it. Tear the sandbox down, right? Like rather than sort of declarative using, using, you know, some sort of DSL.”54:12Report a misattribution
