★ 65,430 · Dockerfile · Apache-2.0 · updated Aug 2024

The best way to write secure and reliable applications. Write nothing; deploy nowhere.

A joke repo by Kelseyhightower making the point that the most secure, reliable code is no code at all. It has a Dockerfile that presumably does nothing. 65k stars says the industry recognized itself in the joke.

Zero CVEs since inception. Perfect test coverage. No dependency drift. Ships in O(0) time.

Solves no actual problem. The Dockerfile's existence is philosophically inconsistent with the premise. No migration path to 'some code.' CONTRIBUTING.md presumably just says no.
