The tech industry often overcomplicates things by emphasizing acronyms and strategic quadrants, as seen in the categorization of Daytona under the "CDE" (Cloud Development Environment) label. However, this approach can be constrictive and pigeonhole companies like Daytona. A more suitable concept is Development Environment Management (DEM), which encompasses a hybrid model supporting diverse developer needs and efficiently managing environments at scale. DEM represents the entire puzzle, providing flexibility to shape the future of development environment management holistically. The ultimate goal is to deliver a "that was easy" experience for every developer, without added constraints, by reducing complexity and developer burden. By breaking free from CDE and focusing on what truly matters - creating an unparalleled developer experience - companies can transform how enterprises manage development environments.
