Some software branded as Docker for Mac exists for Mac.

Obviously Docker uses Linux kernel constructs not available on other platforms so on Mac (and Windows) they embed an entire Linux VM and attempt to integrate it with the host system storage, networking and resources.

This works about as well as it sounds, I/O performance in particular is terrible and trying to share folders between the host and the VM (to for example mount the code you’re working on) is super slow and annoying

“But Macs are the best for development, they’re so user friendly” - not even close lol

Where this doesn’t work is the entire Finance department.

They need proper Excel, full of all the proper Excel shenanigans. Some of them will also have VBA macros and random plugins too that they rely on

If you use macos but are deploying to Linux, you’re also a weirdo.

+10 masochism points if you’re using docker on MacOS as well

Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments

I used to think that until I figured out yaml and now yaml isn’t so bad.

It helps that text editors know what yaml is now so insert spaces when you hit tab etc

I guess Caddy has been stealing its market share
