I love Docker, but I gave up on using it on Mac. I put a lot of effort into fighting it, but ultimately, it seems some of the issues are just too fundamental. I like to call the Docker-for-Mac experience the MacBook Airplane. At some point, your fans will start spinning, your productivity will crash, and you'll spend the next three hours sifting through open GitHub issues from 2017 where everyone is still complaining about the same problems.
I'm all in on VSCode Remote SSH development now. It works extremely well, I barely even notice I'm not programming on my own computer, and my laptop no longer sounds like a passenger jet taking off. It was very easy to setup. Our stack is still very Docker heavy, but using the containers on a remote machine makes it much more tolerable to work with.
