Being able to spin up a fully functioning dbt environment is very useful for interview assignments and quick demos. I created a template using [dev containers](https://containers.dev) that allows you to spin up dbt + Postgres + Adminer in a single click right from VS Code. Check it out and make sure to star if you find it useful!

Good job, maybe add a big seed at once? Superstore or something similar
