Comment on Developing with Dockerparent

Comments

Docker for local development is only useful for running services like Postgresql and Redis, or doing hot reloads using something like vite or air. The development in a box paradigm is really difficult to maintain, much prefer direnv or nix.

Yup, at work we've been doing "dev machine bootstrap script installs version managers (nvm/mise/direnv/etc), projects use those" and have been experimenting with direnv + nix.
