One of the biggest constraints to successful AI coding agents is limited accessibility to the underlying development environment.

A potential solution is a AI Coding Agent-Agnostic Middleware

Seed companies don’t seem to be priced as businesses with intrinsic value derived from future cash flows. Rather than venture capital, they seem to be a proxy for the human capital of the founders and early team.

Great to see this finally live. So much to do though, hoping for some help from the community

Now everyone that feels left out that they dont have "blue bubbles" can be part of the clique.

Isn't it fascinating that Megacorps target OSS Adversarial Interoperability Maintainers with legal threats while VCs refused to fund them.

Meanwhile one-step removed startups (e.g texts.com/beeper) get handsomely VC funded (while relying on those same OSS Adversarial Interoperability projects) and these Megacorps refuse to go after them with the same threats?

I think this needs to be studied.

This is a great example, truly https://youtu.be/8xjCX_TXkyU

I would love if Zed supported remote development, as we would enable it to all Daytona users right away.

Nathan Sobo if your reading and interested hit me up: ivan at daytona.io

I'd agree now that we are launching we notice, before - not so much

Happy to take this one, as I am one of the cofounder of Daytona.

Daytona solves all the automation and provisioning of the dev environment, actually wrote an article here laying out exactly what we do: https://www.daytona.io/dotfiles/diy-guide-to-transform-any-m...

Daytona currently supports only the dev container (https://containers.dev/) "dev env infrastructure as code" standard, but are looking to support others such as devfile, nix and flox.

Hope this helps

ahh interesting - so there's a split on the dev format. why did you choose dev containers vs nix ? genuine question - asking because replit makes a big deal of nix, so it seemed to me as a very popular choice.

You only have so many things you can do at once.

From our perspective dev container seemed to be what our target audience was already using; as its supported by VS code natively and also as almost all OSS projects are hosted on Github, and their product Codespaces support it as well - it seemed like the logical first standard.

But as mentioned devfile, nix and flox are on the roadmap.

Dev containers provide a robust standard that is seamlessly integrated into VS Code, which makes workflow smooth end-to-end. Thanks to the Daytona plugin architecture and Apache license, it is relatively easy to bring in more standards. Cause, you know: https://xkcd.com/927/
