Hm, I'm on Mac so it takes up a bunch of ram and I'm not used to this workflow. good point though.

Unless you actually use the memory (e.g. allocate it), it won’t impact system performance, but yeah, it definitely is overhead.

complexity is in the eye of the beholder, some people just get docker enough that it's not a friction

Now installing the dependencies of every git repo I want to try on my host system, that's how an environment becoming needlessly complicated
