A bit yeah ... I think in a few months most problems will go away but we will see. 🤞
That's why I wanted to write this article especially to point out the flaws, of course, some devs might not have the issues I have.
I was lucky enough to work on a project that didn't strictly require docker, so I was able to develop on it 99% of the last month of trying the M1 out.
You're talking about Docker and node.js but what about all the other stuff, things that you'd typically install with a brew install command - php, ruby, python, mysql, nginx, apache and so on, and so on ... has stuff like that been "ported" to ARM, as in, do you know if binary "brew bottles" are already available for that kind of software?

PHP, Ruby, and Python work natively and are available to install with
brew.I also tried an Nginx docker image and it worked - not sure about apache. I usually don't install those locally as I run them with docker.
Some things like
mysqlare not ported yet but should work through the Rosetta 2 translation layer.Cool ... maybe "brew install from source" works in those cases where no native 'bottle' is available yet (mysql) ?
Haven't tried this only with node when I needed an issue fixed that was not published yet.
Basically, it should work as long as it can compile on arm. For MySQL I just checked and it runs on the new chip
