Development Environments from Docker Images

The text discusses the evolution of development environments from simple setups in the past to more complex ones today. It highlights the challenges faced by developers in maintaining their environments, ensuring alignment with others on a project, and preventing configuration drift that can lead to compilation errors and rework. Coder Enterprise is introduced as a solution for automating setup of development environments and eliminating configuration drift using pre-configured Docker images. The impact of this technology is exemplified by an engineer who was able to check in 400 lines of code on his first day at Coder.
