- add dev container configuration for Go project in Visual Studio code
- Added docker compose file
- Add SQL Server to compose as another service.
docker-compose up -d- Attach to running container in VSCode
- Magic âš¡
Now I can open Visual Studio Code and run a go project against SQL Server, and tear it all down as I want. Gonna definitely blog on this, as it's super cool to see this work so well.
While Docker has a steep learning curve, being able to have a full clean dev test environment with SQL Server in a local container and another Ubuntu container to run Go projects in absolutely amazing, not to mention working "inside it" with Remote Workspaces extension from Microsoft.

Migrating from Windows 10 to macOS for professional use this week. So far the most painful things have been:
- Pretty rough experience getting displaylink to work, definitely not as plug-and-play as Windows.
- Shortcuts! I'm a serious shortcut fanatic. The difference in control/command/alt usage on on a mac is painful to my muscle memory and coding flow. Trying to not remap to windows based keys, but it's been hard.
- Window management. I've used divvy and tried some other's, but seriously, the lack of window snapping and aero peak is pretty glaring as a new user.
Other than that, so far have most things up and running, and forced myself to do it through Ansible to learn something new. I now know I could setup my macbook 90% of the way in minutes with Ansible, so that's a win!

Jedi: Fallen Order has the most linear gameplay I've done in a while. View map, get object, run for 15 mins to get back to beginning of map. Rinse and repeat. Feels like I'm back to Skyrim and endless walking. I think Dying Light ruined me with it's parkour and movement dynamics that made everything feel so immersive.

GitHub Codespaces was announced today. I've been a believer in this for a while now, and have been on the early access testing of online.visualstudio.com. Apparently it's renamed to Visual Studio Codespaces now, and is the same tech. Will be a while before this trickles out to be mainstream, but as an early adopter of "developer workspaces as code" it's an exciting time.
The fact that I can now spin up with a couple text files a full development test environment, with SQL Server in Docker, a configured development environment with linting and more, and then rebuild this in a few minutes on any machine is pretty incredible.
