What this snippet does
Module downloads are reused between builds while staying out of the image layers.
Expected output
=> CACHED [3/3] RUN go mod download
Why practise typing this
Typing layers & caching 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.
