Yeah but if before we had MxN complexity:

  - M: number of devs with their own machine
  - N: number of projects with their own way of bringing up dev env
Using stuff like Codespace reduces M to 1.

There are dozens of tools and strategies to reduce M to 1. Codespaces is just one of them.

Codespaces has the disadvantage of turning you into a renter.
