the dev workflow usage of docker is less about developing your own app locally and more about being able to mindlessly spin up dependencies - a seeded/sample copy of your prod database for testing, a Consul instance, the latest version of another team's app, etc.

You can just bind the dependencies that are running in Docker to local ports and run your app locally against them without having to docker build the app you're actually working on.
