> Now when I'm being asked to trade away my sanity learning this nonsense for in return a couple of megabyte of disk space that could've been wasted, I just don't see the value.
Well said. And not only your sanity, but by using this stuff in production you’re also dragging everyone else’s sanity with you. The benefits need to be compelling and aligned with the business needs, and saving a few MBs here and there at the cost of time is definitely not in alignment except for in the most exceptional cases.
Fun to read about and toy around with, but let’s leave it at that. The first example using multi-stage docker build and alpine is fantastic.
