Easily Upgrade is to install via DOCKER.

So, It doesn't make sense to write this article because of local-environment is past way of making Dev environment

Are you saying that everyone should be using Docker now for their local environment?

Exactly, Docker is silver bullet for team work and the faster roll out projects

Although I see the benefit of Docker, I don't think it's meant for every team. if you're deploying to a Docker container, sure, work on a docker container locally. But if you have zero docker containers on production, why work with Docker locally?

Laravel Valet is super light, fast and reliable and I don't ever need Docker for most of the projects I'm working on.
