Docker question. Who prefers docker for local dev vs. run the thing directly. I usually prefer run the thing for debugging and hot reloading. Sure: build the containers and test them in CI. Dependencies like PG sure run in containers as they change less often and you save the install.

some people do all of their software development in a container. It really only works well if you are comfortable using TUIs instead of desktop apps though.
