As far as Python. I don’t have to remember to do anything. I use pip install from the command line. I write and debug my code locally, push it and my CI/CD pipeline build either my Lambda zip file or Docker container and push it.

The same is true for .Net Core and Node.

When would I ever build directly from my computer and push to another computer? This is 2020. We have CI/CD pipelines.

If I did actually deploy to a VM, the only difference would be that pipeline would do that instead.

I guess you've already forgotten how long Docker took to work decently under Windows.

Pretty much all those magic CI/CD tools you are effectively forced to use, are written on (and for) Linux first. Linux/Mac/BSD users get first pickings and can always choose to ignore this or that tool if they feel like it. You don't.

My CI/CD pipeline doesn’t run on Windows. When I’m writing my code in any of the three languages I mentioned, I am running them straight on my Windows box.

I push the code and my Linux based build server, pulls in the dependencies, builds the artifacts - either Docker container or Lambda - and deploys it.

I first played with Docker on Windows in 2014. I didn’t really start using it for anything in production until 2019.

But talking about who did it first is about like Mac nerds bragging about having long file names before Windows. No one cares.
