You're an endangered species. I find it pretty funny how so many developers jump through so many hoops to avoid developing on the OS that's actually running the application in production. Apparently wasting many gigabytes of RAM on unnecessary virtualization, suffering from extremely slow IO, and constantly bashing your head against file permissions/network configuration/whatever else is so much more productive.
(Please don't waste your time replying with "I can't use X because of Y". The world does not need any more of these anecdotes. We've heard it all. If you don't want to be a part of the change, downvote and move on.)
- pjmlp 5y agoNah, just an old dog that has seen the pendulum swing too many times, and has more to sell to employers and customers than CV driven development. Docker is about 5 years time to become irrelevant, replaced by the next big thing(TM) in cloud deployments.
- ljm 5y agoIs this sarcasm? That sounds more like an indictment of Docker or Vagrant than anything else.
- gizdan 5y agoWith the right tooling and a good understanding of your tooling you can easily get away without docker or the like. Don't get me wrong, personally I avoid installing as much as possible and prefer containers, but it's not necessary if you have the knowledge, and the tooling. Especially with a scripted language like PHP that has most plugins bundled in most distributions.
- antifa 5y ago> jump through so many hoops to avoid developing on the OS that's actually running the application in production. lolwut? Most of us have been using homebrew longer than docker has been popular, often codebases older than that, too. If anything, it takes far more hoop jumping for the average user to run a full 1:1 VM on OSX.
