Datadog veterans launch AI coding startup Niteshift on a bet against Big AI lock-in

AI coding agent startup Niteshift has raised a $7 million seed round from a who's who of angels. It's betting companies will want power over, not lock-in with model makers.

Nauti's Take
The interesting part is not another coding agent. It is the anti-lock-in bet.
If Niteshift executes, AI coding stops being chat-window magic and becomes an infrastructure problem: routing, control, cost, compliance. That is where enterprise teams decide what survives.
