Hey there 👋 Just wanted to share a fun experiment I’ve been playing around with at Dagger. We hooked up our entire Container API to LLMs, and they’ve been doing some mind-blowing stuff... 🧵

Anyone tried Windsurf IDE for AI? I am hearing Cursor is now old school. I officially became an old man.

Just like we containerized webapps, we'll have to containerize AI agents... but how? What first principles led to containers in the first place, and how do they transpose to LLMs? This was my first talk at an AI meetup, but I doubt it will be the last! youtu.be/XWO_3My2eVU?...

GPUs in CI/CD are challenging—high costs, low utilization, and complex setups. Dagger + @fly.io, Lambda Labs, and Ollama make it easy with on-demand GPU workflows, cost-saving caching, and seamless pipelines. See it in action: dagger.io/blog/gpu-cha...

I've gone the dagger.io route for project specific tooling and generally containerized setups, for both building and as a containerized task engine

I really enjoyed my conversation w/ @samalba.com we cover a lot of ground - how Docker was the result of a pivot away from PaaS, the challenges of scaling startups, the importance of team culture and finding the right VC, and how an rigorous discovery process led to Dagger and pipeline as a service

I strongly recommend watching the documentary “Buy Now!” on Netflix - very well made and very informative. It’ll make you think twice about buying the new iPhone or a pair of shoes.

Heading to #KubeCon. If you have time to meet, I’ll be spending most of the time at the @dagger.io booth with the rest of the Team! Come join us if you want to see a demo on how to make your CI, build and tests 10x faster 🚀

Last year, in an attempt to escape from Twitter, I tried Mastodon, but the UX didn't click for me. Then a Bluesky invite showed up. It was the Twitter clone I was looking for. I started crossposting as a hedge, I even started sending invites of my own. I was all in. Then I went back to Twitter.
