  • This is awesome answer I will say than others provided above. Everyone please upvote it. Commented Apr 8, 2019 at 14:17
  • @JavierCobos: if you were speaking for within a container or similar controlled space, please add that information to the answer itself. Many people are not in such environments, especially on a development machine, and this could have unintended consequences as-is. Downvoting, but happy to change the vote with proper clarification.

    Many will... but as someone who spends significant chunks of time helping train junior developers, and even beyond that context, I can tell you that a great many people make use of answers on Stack Overflow without really comprehending what they're doing... they're just faced with a problem, and see something represented as a solution to what seems to be their problem, and they run with it. So... I personally desire the site to give good explanations and foster good general habits. So, that's where I'm coming from on it. I know it's not the only perspective, though. :) Commented May 9, 2019 at 6:46
