Yeah, all of mine are usually just there to spit out binaries to use locally and alert me to any new dependencies slipping by. I once worked at a company that would ship web apps with databases that only ran in a container so that they could make each layer of its image a migration. It made CI take upwards of 40 minutes for just regular PR builds.
And then there’s people who are just allergic to containers. If you want me to work on your C project, I’m not leaving dev libraries lying around or wondering why something works on my system and not on others. I’m building a Dockerfile that has only what should be needed to build and feeding make through a container and volume binding the output.
Edit: I hate flatpak and snap so much actually lol. Most of the Dockerfiles I write are just building apps from source that don’t distribute any other way. I’ll even accept AppImages, but if you make me use flatpak, I will not hesitate to start building from source.
What i find funny are people building golang binaries without cgo and still wrapping them in full distro containers. Your binary uses nothing from the container and still it gets packaged that way…
Seen so many developers incur a huge headache trying to figure out overly complicated container setup when they could just run their already static binary without any drama…
