I've recently been using Docker for developing my API in a little project because mongodb doesn't work on M1 yet.

And from that necessary use case I am now hooked on them. Not having my machine bogged down with different versions of things and programs is great. And a single command from a single terminal to get my BE going means I'm more likely to jump in a tinker around when I've got nothing to do.

I have been interested in codespaces since I saw the reveal video, but I only have experience with GitPod which was super handy.
