First Docker then Dagger: Solomon Hykes' Revolution through DevOps

In this episode, Bdougie interviews Solomon, the founder of Dagger.io, a startup that reinvents CI/CD pipelines. Solomon explains how Dagger simplifies the process of creating and running pipelines by turning them into lightweight, code-based structures. He also discusses the motivation behind starting Dagger and how the team came together from the early days of Docker. Tune in to learn more about the challenges and solutions in the world of CI/CD pipelines.

amazing content, Solomon seems a great guy, he is actually obssesed with the entire lifecycle of software dev

I think selling Dagger as a replacement for (end-to-end) CI/CD pipelines is a bit of abuse. However, Dagger is awesome as a CI/CD *task runner* - but still controlled by an orchestrator.

Write software that’s gets large adoption is hard. Sustaining that software is harder.
