The caption is misleading and a bit clickbait. Let's avoid this.
GitHub is a specific environment not suitable to all development.
Containers on their own can't help facing tons of other issues, as e.g. different runtime placement and timeouts in interaction to a public service. Well, they definitely have huge advantage of exact stable environment, but it is not absolute.
Hi Valentin,
The blog banner I used says "Why are people developing in containers: GitHub Codespaces." I work at GitHub, so my goal is to continue informing people about Codespaces as an option for development. I also thought it would be cool to give beginners more context about containers. I was able to accomplish my goal of introducing people to both GitHub Codespaces and containers. People have messaged me that this post clarified a bit for them. I am also in the process of learning, so I'm sharing as I learn.
If you have more to share about containers, I encourage you to write about it and share it. Thank you!
