No macOS Devcontainer Support for GPU Passthrough in VS Code
Developers using macOS cannot run local AI models with GPU acceleration inside VS Code devcontainers because Docker on Mac lacks GPU passthrough. Windows has CUDA forwarding but no equivalent exists for Apple Silicon, forcing developers to choose between isolation and performance.
Redis Lacks a Native Windows Binary, Forcing Docker/WSL for Dev Work
Backend developers who work primarily on Windows have no native Redis binary and must rely on Docker or WSL just to run a Redis-compatible store for development and testing. This friction pushes some to build lightweight Redis-compatible alternatives that run natively on Windows.
AI Code Editors Add Overhead Without Value for Experienced Developers
