this looks interesting but how is this better than just doing docker-compose?

- jitl 4y agoSoftware runs at native speed on your native filesystem. This is especially notable on macOS, where accessing any "mounted" file inside a Docker container uses a network filesystem. The docker filesystem situation can make software like Webpack or other compilers 100x slower when running inside a container on a macOS host. You also avoid UID/GID mapping between host and guest, weird permissions issues like compiler output owned by root, awkward port forwarding, and other little papercuts.
