I don't understand why snailtrail is downvoted. Your ecosystem is a complete joke when it takes a week to set something up.

I will agree that I am not including tooling:

1. Set up all the tools and pull down repo. Confirm access. 2. The code should "just run" at that point.

That's why I don't welcome Docker & K8S - you are all a bunch of hype chasers. Most companies don't need it at all. If you work at FAANG, fine. If you are an ML startup that rents out GPUs from a datacenter, fine. Other than that, run it on a cloud instance and pay $5 more a month.

Because, shockingly people don’t respond well to overly generalized statements that might apply at some places but clearly not the vast majority.

Especially when those statements pretend to be gospel shared from the SWE gods.

If the company provides Linux laptops, Docker in your stack can be the fastest road to the code "just running". Docker on Mac and Windows can be pretty awful from what I hear, but on Linux it can be a huge time saver in getting a dev environment set up. It doesn't get much easier than "install docker, run docker compose up".
