Exactly my words!

The only thing that I would single out here as actual progress is the container thing. This really has helped me a lot, with local dev and deployment. I havent touched any orchestration like k8s yet though, so I am still on the “lite” side.

Totally agreed on containers but I’ve noticed so many developers promptly ignore using the containers that are set up for them when developing locally. Then days are wasted again on deployment issues down the road.

The issue I always run into is that containers don't get maintained. I have never encountered a project where a container "just worked".

I absolutely love them when they do, but they have wasted so much of my time when they don't that I just skip them now. It takes me 5 minutes to set up a local env, and with a staging env at parity with production to test on there's never any issues.

Do you mean you skip the project’s container config and set up your own? Or just skip containers entirely?

[ehnto]

Skip containers usually, if one isn't provided that works it's unlikely there's time or budget for me to maintain my own.
