i would disagree i use em in production apps, i configured it and it works if you do it blindly it happens that sometimes things break but if you configure it, it will work

There is no guarantee that a blind code shaker will leave in everything important while stripping out everything that isn't. How could it possibly know?

If Docker-Slim is working for you in production apps, you are either getting lucky or your app is trivial enough to lack unseen code paths.

Maybe even unforseen files outside of your app, right?

Like, maybe some log forwarder utility that only gets called for "CRIT" messages that didn't happen to get triggered by testing.
