Joe Guidagno, Senior Director for a mortgage company and Vice Chairperson of the .net Foundation, explains the benefits of using Dev Containers in Visual Studio Code. He emphasizes the need to solve the problem of developers saying works on my machine by ensuring a localized development environment. Joe walks through the steps to get started with Dev Containers, build and customize containers, use them in Visual Studio Code, and even containerize containers. He also demonstrates how Dev Containers can be used to open projects on GitHub without requiring anything on the local machine outside an internet browser. Overall, Dev Containers help developers have a fully fledged development environment from one machine to another without having to install anything outside the initial three components of the operating system, shared libraries, and compilers.
