Can containers rescue AI #MCP tools? @shykes.bsky.social of @dagger.io explains his prediction that MCP tools will rapidly become locked down by IT. The Container Use project is a way to isolate MCP environments inside containers. From the #agenticdevops podcast. youtube.com/shorts/hGSCy...

Thoughts by @shykes.bsky.social on containing AI agent chaos (with Dagger as an example) by standardizing + containerizing the dev environment that agents get to do work in, while keeping the other tools around the env flexible and non-monolithic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf9O...

Really compelling demo by @shykes.bsky.social building a “mini Devin” coding agent in a few lines of code. Finally made the core idea behind @dagger.io click: a runtime and reusable ecosystem for your builds. Another key insight: Agents are immutable builds. 🤯 youtu.be/XWO_3My2eVU

@shykes.bsky.social is bringing something new to #MCPDevSummit tomorrow! Typed interfaces aren’t just a nice-to-have, they’re the key to making context orchestration reliable at scale, especially in AI and LLM systems. We look forward to seeing you there! buff.ly/NzqdbNE

It's here! Dagger 0.18 can run AI agents - the Dagger Way. Not a monolith: composable system primitives. Cross-language & model-agnostic Not a silo: LLMs are just another node in the DAG Not a black box: deep tracing OOTB Not a blank check: you control the AI's environment

Our friends at Earthly🌎 announced the end of their original open-source project, to focus on a new product: Lunar. Their founder @vladaionescu.com, being a real mensch, wants to minimize pain to his users. So we are collaborating to offer Earthly users a soft landing to planet Dagger. 🧵

Wait 🤔 you're telling me none of you have typed composition in your MCP servers? What about *object* composition: call a function, get an object back with more functions, pass that to another function, and so on? MCP returning more MCP? You're telling me only @dagger.io has this?

The @dagger.io hack night is quite an awesome event, so much in the #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon vibe - people hacking things & sharing their learnings. Tech people explaining what's in their IDE/terminal, now _that_ is the kind of party I love this conference for! Gotta love Dagger Otel integration 👀

What if the Unix shell stole the best ideas from Docker, Make and Nix? Native supports for containers and secrets; typed objects; declarative execution, sandboxed and cached by default... What if those were just standard shell features? 🤩 Well, we built it! dagger.io/blog/dagger-...

MCP is great for extending AI apps, but less useful for extending AI code. It forces a rigid separation between "code called by llm" and "code called by code", when in practice you want to keep that boundary flexible. Right now that nuance is getting lost in the hype.

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?...

One of my major takeaways #KubeConNA '24: Dagger continues to hit it's stride. The promise was always there (how could it not with @shykes.bsky.social as CEO), but it's only 🚀. @salaboy.com and Marcos Lilljedahl did a great job showing Dagger & DAPR together in SLC www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSen...

has anyone tried plugging a llm into an interactive terminal emulator, and watching it interact character by character, at full resolution? It would be fun to watch a model type on a terminal at superhuman speed as it explores its environment.

“What is dagger’s category? CI, build, test, dev, PaaS, automation, IDP? “
I find it difficult to answer, because I see no meaningful difference between those categories: they reflect how we used to do things in the past, not how we should do things in the future. I had the same problem with Docker.

Solomon Hykes discusses the origins of Docker, the many hurdles it overcame early on, its unexpected virality, and its prevalence among the developer community.
