How many Alpine packages can you install at once? (2024) (naff.dev)
It’s annoying to try and run a command only to discover it hasn’t been installed. It’s even more annoying to build an entire container and miss some crucial dependency your app needs. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if your machine already had all of the software you could ever need installed ahead of time?

Uv's killer feature is making ad-hoc environments easy (valatka.dev)
In my view, neither performance nor trying to be Python-aligned is what sets uv apart. Don’t get me wrong — try switching from uv to Poetry, and you’ll quickly notice how sluggish it (poetry) feels. uv goes extra miles to adhere to PEPs, and IMHO it’s the go-to package manager for Python these days. But these aren’t the features that surprised me most.

VS Code Remote Dev and Dev Containers are not security boundaries (lets.re)
While Visual Studio Code’s Remote Development and Dev Container extensions simplify workflows and ensure consistent development environments, Microsoft’s documentation lacks warnings for how limited their isolation actually is – even when you use them with virtual or remote machines.
