Installing packages in Devcontainers with Nix | Mischa van den Burg

I’ve been obsessed with Devcontainers and Devpods recently, and I’m learning a lot about portable dev environments. This is truly the next level of config management and the future of dev environments in my opinion. I relied on brew as my package manager, however, I ran into problems when I wanted to run my Linux dev containers on my M2 Silicon Mac. Linux brew is not supported on ARM architecture.

@mischavandenburg Why use a devcontainer instead of a nix flake for "nix develop"?
@secana I think it has more relevance for my work if I stick to Dev containers. Nix is probably way to complicated to introduce to developers, and devcontainers keep things simple
