# 1. Reproducible Environments (+4)

## 1. Reproducible Environments

```bash
# Pin versions in Dockerfiles
FROM node:20.10.0-alpine

# Use lockfiles
npm ci --frozen-lockfile
pip install -r requirements.txt --require-hashes

# Document tool versions
cat > .tool-versions << 'EOF'
nodejs 20.10.0
python 3.12.0
EOF
```


## 2. Layer Optimization

```dockerfile
# Order layers by change frequency (least to most)
FROM node:20-alpine

# System dependencies (rarely change)
RUN apk add --no-cache git

# Package manifests (change sometimes)
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci

# Application code (changes often)
COPY . .
```


## 3. Shell Function Library

```bash
# Create reusable functions
source_if_exists() {
    [[ -f "$1" ]] && source "$1"
}

source_if_exists "$HOME/.bashrc.local"
source_if_exists "$HOME/.bashrc.work"

# Lazy loading for slow tools
nvm() {
    unset -f nvm
    source "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
    nvm "$@"
}
```
