>It’s simple to create a Dockerfile that containerizes your app. It’s even easier to create one that has terrible build performance, chalked full of CVEs, is north of 20GB in size, and whatever foot gun you trip over when using Docker

It's been years that writing Dockerfiles has been fairly common. Years. And yet it's still so common that people write such poorly optimized Dockerfiles.

I think we should definitely start thinking about admitting that it's too much over head for people to learn how to write a Dockerfile.

That being said, I've known Kyle for a while now. The team at Depot have consistently shown the deepest possible understanding of the container ecosystem. I'm very excited to see what else they do.
