Containerizing sucks when you want to work on something containerized. If your goal is to have the agent iterate on a container it's much less headache to just put the whole thing in a VM and let it `docker build` and `docker run` whatever it wants to.

Agreed but I haven't found a nice cross platform way to share VM setups. Like I can setup a sandboxed compose dev environment for all my coworkers and tell them use this to recreate our app environment locally and it's already configured with skills/config for agents to find their way around it.

Ideally I would just compose up the infra and let agents run in the host VM but there's nothing as idiot proof as docker compose that works on windows/mac/linux/whatever the new guy prefers to run.

So I incus my devboxes and just run agents inside, but I compose work stuff
