I'm surprised that in 2024 we still run so much random crap unprotected. All dev tools should be sandboxed somehow.

IDE plugins, homebrew, every package used by the app you're building, etc, etc., all with full access to your machine. 😱

IHMO dev containers is the best way. 

It gets a bit awkward when you need docker, but there are solutions (docker-in-docker, etc).

Using dev containers for development is indeed a smart move in today's world where security is crucial. It helps isolate dependencies and tools, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities. Embracing such practices ensures a safer development environment. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight! 🛡️👨‍💻
