Rizèl, thank you for this post and a couple of others like codespaces for training. It's so great to see someone who is actually deep in code espousing this stuff. I fell in love with cloud-based development when I first came across cloud shell in 2016-ish. That was always a bit proprietary though, so the whole devcontainer thing is so much more to my taste! It surprises me that this approach isn't way more popular amongst my senior devs, maybe it's just a matter of time now. Anyway, you've saved me a BUNCH of time setting up my own new company website on github pages, using devcontainer as my IDE, with your config. Bravo :)
