My life changed once I discovered dev containers in VS Code. Basically developing within a bootstrapped Docker container.
We're following the same. It's been a life changer for us.
Dev containers are the shit. We did the readme instructions style at my last job and it took new hires like a full day to set up, propagating changes was a nightmare and shit was always going wrong. We use dev containers now. Everyone gets the exact same version of everything with almost zero opportunity to screw it up. If anything gets messed up, it’s fixed by a rebuild almost every time.
