Otto Engineer

@shushant_lakhyani Otto is the first AI coding agent that both 1) runs code safely in isolation without affecting your file system 2) lets the AI execute and test its own code and 3) requires zero setup. Usually, you have to sacrifice one of these. For example, if the agent runs in your IDE, then it's making changes to your actual file system and executing your code in an unsafe environment, so it would be way too risky to just let the agent run wild and make multiple rounds of changes. If the agent runs in isolation via Docker or similar, setup is much more laborious, startup is slower, and it adds a lot of complexity. As for tools like plain LLM chats, they don't have the ability to execute their code and iterate based on the results. Otto strikes a great balance!

@sentry_co Honestly I really love some of the elegant implementations of complex TypeScript types! This is obviously smaller scale, but it's the reason I built Otto, and it offers clear value in my day to day workflow as an engineer. Here's one of its implementations of that: type SnakeCase = S extends `${infer First}${infer Rest}` ? Rest extends Uncapitalize ? `${First}${SnakeCase}` : `${First}_${SnakeCase>}` : S;

@sadath_n Thank you so much! And by the way, the team is just me!
