Some folks on the internet were interested in how I had managed to ditch Docker for local development. This is a slightly overdue write up on how I typically do things now with Nix, Overmind and Just.

    Making a little program that opens a window with some buttons to pin to my taskbar is infinitely easier than digging out docs and copy pasting into a command line every time I need to do anything. Paste the command once, done. It’s like 10 lines of code, plus about 3-4 for each command I add. Maybe drag the window a bit bigger when I add the button.

      We were talking about software development and deployment in this thread, not necessarily how easy your desktop GUI is to use.

        No shit. I’m saying the tools I had to make myself should come standard instead of wasting dev time on command line bullshit.
