I’ve been using dev containers every day for the last two years, so I’m a big fan.
Working across different code bases that use variations of tools and versions, I no longer have to think about them clashing, or using Homebrew.
Very useful for rapidly onboarding new team members, they are of course free to roll their own dev environment, but we have a known good system to use if that doesn’t work or breaks.
I wouldn’t use the CLI of this post, instead I launch them using a Raycast quicklink (e.g. vscode://ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers/cloneInVolume?url=https://github.com/ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments https://github.com/ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-...)
The team I work on publish some internal guidance for using them https://github.com/ministryofjustice/.devcontainer https://github.com/ministryofjustice/.devcontainer
