Reproducible Local Development with Dev Containers

Maintaining legacy software is a hefty job, beginning with the chore of getting it up and running locally. Many questions come to mind when starting the task, including: <ul> <li>Which extra tools need to be installed?</li> <li>Where do these configuration files need to be placed?</li> <li>What magical incantation of environment variables need to be set?</li> <li>How do I get help with setting this up?</li> <li>Who knows the answers to these questions?</li> <li>When are they going to get back to me?!</li> </ul> For those new to the stack or the company, the process of transitioning from having nothing installed to running the team’s stack on their machine can take multiple days, depending on what kind of difficulties they encounter. The frustration heightens for seasoned employees transitioning between teams or projects. <a href="https://medium.com/cwan-engineering/reproducible-local-development-with-dev-containers-0ed5fa850b36">Website</a>
