> Prevent mis-aligned environments between developers, onboard new-joiners faster, and reduce the time it takes to take your project to production. Sounds interesting? Devcontainers can help you with this. Devcontainers allow you to connect your IDE to a running Docker container and develop inside it. This gives you all the benefits of reproducibility that Docker is known for. In this talk, I will walk you through what Devcontainers are, why they might be useful for you, and how to create one for your Python project using VSCode.
