Haha, spicy. We definitely don't want to overlook nix. It's a great tool. We do mean something different with "developer environment" in that context of this quoted sentence. I'm not sure if nix will help you much if you want to connect your VS Code to a remote VM or container to work inside of that environment. We'll work on rewording this though to make things clearer :)

I'm sure you can find a narrow enough definition; I believe in you.
"Containerised" would be less ambiguous, I think.
Oh yeah, that would make it clearer! Thanks
