As a developer, it's important to have a consistent and reliable development environment. This can be especially challenging when working with different languages and technologies, as each may have its own specific dependencies and setup requirements. One way to ensure a consistent development environment is to use a tool called a "dev container."
In this post, we'll look at how to use Visual Studio Code's dev containers to write Node.js applications.
Dev containers are lightweight, disposable development environments that are built using Docker containers. They allow you to isolate your development environment from your host machine, ensuring that you have a consistent environment regardless of where you are working.
