Hey Reader,

So you may notice that things look and feel a bit different here... and that's because they are!

The new M bytes logo signifies that we are covering all of the different edges of the Magento ecosystem -- and this includes everything from PHP, Docker, AI , MySQL... and much more.

I'll also be covering only one single topic with every issue. My goal is to upgrade your skills around the entire stack, so you can extend your current working knowledge about topics you may already know (but maybe not well enough), with the aim of making you indispensable in this ever-changing future of development.

And with that, let's get on to the lessons of this week!

Docker is one of those core things that every developer needs to know about. It's crucial to dev environments, testing out new apps (in a disposable manner), running new AI models, and when it comes time to ship code.

I just started working on a brand new Docker Core Fundamentals playlist (completely free) with entirely new lessons. The first three just dropped this week, and you can check them out below 👇

Keep shipping code,

Remove an image in Docker

Deleting a Docker image is simple, ...but it has some nuances if containers using the image are running, and can leave you with dangling containers:
