Yeah, I think that's why making any blanket statement about this stuff doesn't work. Personally I went through a phase of Docker-ising everything I did because it made so much sense but really it just got in my way. My development work mostly consists of Node and Rust, both have self-contained package systems that mean encapsulating everything in Docker is unnecessary. But that's not the case for everyone!
- benologist 6y agoI find Docker very complementary to Node, not because I'm putting my code in a container but for all the databases and other software. When I'm running tests I automatically spin up a Redis or a Postgres or whatever database(s) are required. This lets tests run in parallel, projects co-exist etc, without any cross-contamination or shared/mixing of dependencies.
