Asdf – language tool version manager
Used this at my last company. Super painless and makes setup a breeze. Current company uses Docker and I hate it. Every company I've been at loves to throw everything into a container. Even if you setup your dev configs to maintain hot reloading, it's always slower. Node package management is also a pain no matter how you implement it with Docker it seems.<p>I also hate the Docker tagline that it "eliminates 'works on my machine' issues". I believe a tool like asdf would also achieve this (correct me if I'm wrong). Docker itself can go haywire depending on the machine and you're basically in hell fighting with it just to get your dev environment working. You essentially eliminate one problem in exchange for a variety of equally frustrating challenges.
