This is why I like Docker. It's basically "works on my machine" as a service.

Similarly, I'm starting to really like dev containers. They're Docker containers with all the required dev tools already installed inside, and a config so that VS Code knows how to spin up a new container when you want to do dev work on the project. They use VS Code remoting - a VS Code server runs in the container and the regular VS Code desktop app connects to it.

I was recently dealing with a project that has some Ruby dev tools and it was 100x easier to deal with since they were using dev containers.
