Yep. I moved to it when I got frustrated with the performance of docker on Mac (our stack also includes quite a number of containers). It was a great decision.

Yep. I moved to it when I got frustrated with the performance of docker on Mac (our stack also includes quite a number of containers). It was a great decision. I barely notice the difference, thanks to how seamless VSCode makes it. My laptop fans hardly ever spin anymore. And there’s no mental block to starting work or managing resources on my laptop, since I leave the dev box running 24/7 and it’s always there. I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say it was the single best decision I made for my productivity in the last year. Don’t underestimate the mental effects of your laptop heating up based on how much work you’re doing. It’s been great to have those things decoupled.
