Have some kids and day one that fruit is at least half gone.

I’ve reached for some complex awk when I am looking to parse snippets of code where breaking out a full language parser would have been too much.

One example is parsing statements from a Dockerfile but only within certain stages of the image. So I reach for regex range in awk and I can make something that works everywhere.

Of course I probably could have done the same thing in python by controlling the beginning and end via variables, but I like awk sometimes.

The gophers are https://podman.io/ which builds and runs containers. My guess is they are building the same application in multiple distros for their one application

Like

my-app-nix my-app-fedora my-app-alpine

It’s a common practice so users can choose the distro they prefer when launching your container in their stack.

Add on a CI system (not Jenkins) and you got yaml controlling your yaml!
