Show HN: One dev environment for humans, CI, and AI agents

Category: devtools

Tags: devcontainers, dev-environment, nix, docker, ci-cd, ai-agents, rust

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

devcontainer-env bridges devcontainers and the host environment by exporting container service environment variables and rewriting container URLs to host ports, enabling humans, CI, and AI agents to share a single dev environment config. Its focus on unifying three audiences (human, CI, agent) with a single devcontainer+Nix+Docker approach addresses a modern gap in reproducibility.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, platform engineers
