> Building third-party binaries in a reproducible environment
Awesome! Not enough people talk about this use case IMO. For instance, docker itself and the docker-cli are both compiled inside of a docker container. This allows you to circumvent the "OK, install the right version of Go, all the libraries I need etc." song and dance if you're developing in a new place (or if new developers join in the contribution).
It's also a great way to circumvent the (all to familiar) problem of "OK which lib* do I need to get this to compile? It isn't documented" problem.
