Cloud Dev Environments Via Slack Aid New Joiners And Non-Engineers

And the "magical" part is not really for devs who have their dev env setup. For them it's an "oh so what" moment.

It's for: - New joiners - Non-engineers - Devs contributing to codebases they have not set up locally (and now no longer need to setup locally!)

Two weeks ago, I talked with a startup that built the same thing for themselves: a cloud dev environment spun up via a Slack mention, anytime, and they said the same: that it was *absolutely* game changer for them. Because it's now so trivial to prompt work, incl parallel work.

And it's "magical" thanks to being hooked up to every internal system.

Difference is that that startup I talked about build this integration over a few months (yes, really!) to make it work

IDK how easily Claude Tag integrates, and integrations are the big deal here.

I assume a LOT more vendors will offer all this btw, because CDE + agent + integrations + Slack integration is the big unlock
