There is as soon as you run containers on a different OS (IOW as soon as it's not Linux containers on Linux or Windows containers on Windows)
- ajross 3y agoYeah yeah, I know. Nonetheless few people are doing hermetic build setups natively on OS X, it's just not part of the Xcode culture. The advice given was clearly for backend development on Linux (sure, plausibly other systems, but let's be honest, all backend deployment is done on Linux at this point and that will be true for the rest of eternity. Solved problems are solved).
- lloeki 3y agoI would disagree, tons of people out there develop backend code targeting Linux but do so on macOS machines. That said, this was not a particular jab at your comment, more like a clarification for readers, as a lot of people are somehow under the belief that Docker for Mac involves no VM (the other belief being that containers themselves are somehow lightweight VMs)
