Except when you have to make iOS/Windows/Linux specific instructions to get it working haha.
We have the joke at work where it almost works all the time. As long as the base OS is the same. Also random updates to libraries that break the docker container. But thats less on Docker and more on base OS images that are provided (im looking at you Ubuntu and your "new" sudo...).
And the discussion on whether or not to pin versions.
Pinned, these packages work together, but don't automatically pull in security updates.
Don't pin, things randomly change on each build, best of luck debugging things.
Pin API / ABI versions.
If you're able to track that...
