Instant Self-contained Development Environments
summary
Shows a reproducible pattern: a self-contained repository that keeps devcontainer.json, Dockerfile, encrypted secrets and CI config next to code so an unfamiliar repo goes from 50 minutes to first run to under a minute. Uses VS Code dev containers + Docker (Docker-in-Docker), Docker Compose, Tilt, Git, GPG and runtimes (Node, Go, .NET, Yarn) to run the Tweek app locally; live coding edits propagate in ~5 seconds via hot reload. Demo proves the setup works end-to-end.
