devcon: The New dcon I Promised — Dev Containers Without VS Code

Yesterday I published the honest, winding story of my remote dev setup, and I ended it on two unsolved problems: dcon and tmosh were doing overlapping work, and the docker sh → zellij step was still manual. I said the logical move was a new dcon. Well — I didn't wait long. Meet devcon: dev containers from the terminal, without VS Code, and built from the start to resolve exactly those two tensions.

How My Remote Dev Setup Evolved: From VS Code Containers to mosh, tmosh, dcon, and Now Zellij

I didn't design my remote dev setup. It evolved — one papercut at a time, with plenty of wrong turns and dead ends. VS Code with containers led to a dev server, which led to the terminal, which led to tmux, which led to tools I wrote myself. It's an ongoing reflection, not a finished architecture: dcon and tmosh now partly overlap, my workspaces still aren't fully solved, and I'm right in the middle of testing Zellij. Here's the honest, winding story so far.
