As a developer and open source maintainer, I've faced countless challenges in my career, particularly with development environments. This led to the creation of Daytona, an open source project aimed at standardizing and simplifying these environments. The goal is to enable a world where repositories "just run," regardless of who's using them or where they're being run. A standardized environment would allow developers to focus on coding without worrying about setup issues. With this vision, productivity skyrockets, context switching becomes seamless, experimentation becomes fearless, code reviews become easier, onboarding new team members is a snap, open source contributions flow, and developers can focus on solving interesting problems. When repositories "just work," it's liberating, unlocking the full potential of every developer on the team.
