 ### Dev Containers
 
-The team makes use of [VSCode Dev Containers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) to streamline development.
-Each of the subprojects can be opened in a container,
-where the developer can then make use of the running (containerized) services.
+If you want to develop inside one of the containers,
+you can attach your running VSCode session to this container using ``CTRL + SHIFT + P``,
+then selecting ``Attach to running container``.
