Some folks on the internet were interested in how I had managed to ditch Docker for local development. This is a slightly overdue write up on how I typically do things now with Nix, Overmind and Just.

You can have my Docker development environment when you pry it from my cold dead hands!
And keep it that way! We need people on both sides to further spur progress. Plus I’m jealous cause I still don’t have a firm grasp on docker.
Fair!
Python, and its need for virtual environments, is what really drove me to master Docker.
I use Kubernetes at work and a simpler docker-compose driven setup at home. I find that it’s a tidier way to build infra, but it does have its limits. Abstracting from bare-metal has its ups and downs, but I find the positives outweigh the negatives.
