Do you use an isolation mechanism like containers or VMs for development work? 1.8K views · 8 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 30 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@CodingGarden @wesbos No. This is influencer slop that raises the barrier of entry for students and does not reflect industry standards. Claude without a VM is exceedingly common and acceptable. 161 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 29 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@CodingGarden If you code with git, very small tasks and read every line after then no need of any sandbox! 192 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 28 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

@CodingGarden Adding --network=none to the container for steps that need no internet is a cheap extra layer on top of that. 180 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 28 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

We're at a point where coding without an isolation mechanism or sandbox is way too risky. Use containers at a minimum, VMs if you have enough resources or a remote machine with either of these if you can.
