I still think "dev environments" really ought to be running tests directly with your languages native tool. e.g. `cargo test`, `bundle exec rspec`, etc. If you make me run a VM that runs Kubernetes that runs a docker container that runs the tests, I will be very, very upset. Doing this properly and reliably can still be a lot of work, possibly more work if not relying on Docker is a design goal (which must be if you want to run natively on macOS).

There seem to be a lot of tools in this space. I wish they wouldn't call themselves tools for "dev environments" when they are really more like tools for "deploying an app to your local machine", which is rather different.

True. I learned this the hard way.
