  • Time. Your build environment can be potentially compromised. Takes more tools to build then install increase maintance, chances for failure to update, and increase attack surface area.

    Removing software can be much harder if not installed by a package manager as well, which can make upgrades a PITA

    That said yeah I do it from time to time. Build in one container, install in an other, and you mitigate some of that concern.











  • I use continue in VSCode hooked to ollama or mistrial. Sometimes I just ask a chat to “make a script/config that does <my MVP of the project, maybe even less>”.

    How much I use depends on how little I am invested. My rule is I try to correct a bad output ONCE. I cannot argue it into fucking getting it right.

    I prefer net new code and add this feature. Ironically good refactoring goes a long way. The less it has to adjust the better, and less I have to review the better.
