What this snippet does
Comparing bases side by side makes the cost of a full distro image obvious.
Expected output
node:20 1.09GB node:20-alpine 135MB alpine:3.20 7.8MB
Why practise typing this
Typing image optimisation code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
