Docker Knit

Docker Knit is a new tool integrated into the latest Docker version, designed to streamline the creation of Docker files with best practices. Michael Outlaw highlights its usability, noting that it currently supports Go but will soon expand to other languages. The tool emphasizes efficiency by offering multistage builds and small image layers, making it a valuable learning resource for developers.

It does it with best practices in mind. So by default, it's going to give you multistage build. It's going to mount your source code in to be really efficient and keep your image layer sizes small.

This approach not only aids in learning but also provides a slick command-line interface for practical use 1.

   

Screen & Tmux

Screen and Tmux are powerful utilities for managing terminal sessions, each with unique advantages. Michael Outlaw shares his experience with Screen, praising its ability to manage multiple sessions and maintain setups even after disconnection. Alan Underwood adds that while Tmux was once considered outdated, it remains popular and is known for its power and ease of use.

I assume that Tmux was like older and kind of out of favor, but actually like googling Tmux first screen, it seems like tmux is maybe even the more popular one.

Both tools offer robust solutions for multitasking and system management, making them essential for developers working in Unix-like environments 2 1.
