As somebody that suffered through public school as a gifted kid, I wish I had been homeschooled. Almost everything positive that happened in my education was because of family, not due to the school. School was hell on earth for me, and I

I'm trying to be charitable here, but you're being incredibly obtuse in your response. The issue here is very much not that someone has to build a Docker image. There's already a Dockerfile in the repo that works to build i
