Docker is like, my favorite utility tool, for both deployment AND development (my replacement for Python virtual environments). I wanted to hear more of why I shouldn’t use it also.

Right? If it's about ease of insight into containers for debugging and troubleshooting, I can kinda see that. Although I'm so used to working with containers it isn't a barrier really to me anymore.

yup. it's a breeze especially for interpreted langs. mount the source code, expose the ports and voila. need a db?
