On: Optimizing Docker image size and why it matters

You don't have to do this anymore, the buildkit frontend for docker has a new feature that supports multiline heredoc strings for commands: https://www.docker.com/blog/introduction-to-heredocs-in-dock... It's a game changer but unfortunately barely mentioned anywhere.

Yeah, been using this myself for a whole bunch of sanity. Until buildkit is the default though, I wouldn't expect it to gain too much traction.

Wow, that deserves its own Tell HN ;-)

Thanks for the tip!
