Sets up a dev container docker image for cross-platform compatibility and portability of the developer environment
* Added the SHELL environment variable to make pnpm happy * Removed extraneous dependencies, like perl, python, and zsh * If desired, those could be added later

Looks cool. I need clarification on a few things before merging. Also, how can I test?

I'll need this mechanism explained to me. The difference of running in Docker, Vs Code or neither. Maybe we can get on a call tomorrow?

Are these all the vs code plugins you're bundling in the container? I thought vs code was still running locally?

No, not bundling. These are just settings that get loaded when you load the container. This tells vscode to install these extensions (but only in the context of the container).
There's still a few in here I meant to remove, I just noticed...

That's kinda what I meant. Inside the container, vs code is being bundled with all those extensions. I'll read more on Dev Containers but clarification on them is a big part of our call today.

Is this mounting whatever folder contains all your projects?

That is the goal, yes. I figure that the parent folder of the SmartOrder project would the one. Alternatively, we could have a different repo host them all, and this stuff would just sit in the top of it. The other 3 could be subrepositories

Extensions need to be duplicated here and in devcontainer.json?

This file actually needs to go away

This is looking better the more I look into it. The Docker configs are very pure and if you had to implement this yourself, you'd want to do things how they are. Looks like a good superset.
