Streamlined the devcontainer configuration for a more focused Node.js development experience. This involved simplifying the container by removing Postgres integration and many customized settings not universally applicable, such as those specific for NextJS development and various unnecessary VS Code settings and extensions. Also, cleaned up the Zsh plugins list to focus on essentials, improving setup time and reducing potential sources of confusion or conflict for new developers. This change aims to make the development environment quicker to set up, easier to understand, and more broadly applicable. Removed settings and plugins are now considered out of scope for the primary development goals but can still be added on a per-project basis as needed.
Streamlined the `.devcontainer.json` configuration by removing several extensions related to Git, React, database management, Docker, AI coding assistance, and remote development. Retained core extensions essential for web development, while specifically reinstating "Vue.volar" to the main category to emphasize its relevance. This cleanup aims to enhance developer experience by focusing on the most utilized and important tools, reducing setup complexity and potential distractions. These changes are geared towards a more efficient, lean, and purpose-driven development environment setup.
