Could you build this?
Partial Building developer environment orchestration tooling without standard node runtimes requires low-level process isolation, containerization, or virtualization plumbing that goes beyond standard vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires container runtimes (runc/containerd or lightweight Linux VMs like Firecracker), cgroups/namespaces management, and custom CLI orchestration in Go or Rust. The hard part is managing reproducible filesystem layers, network namespaces, and daemonless process supervision safely across host platforms.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
