Making dagger.io. Before that: founded Docker. "No is temporary, yes is forever".
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.

π€ AI agents are everywhere, but whatβs behind the hype?
Join Docker creator and Dagger CEO @shykes.bsky.social on the #GopherCon stage as he breaks down the core primitive powering AI automation β the agentic loop β and shows how to build one using just Go and a few simple tools.

Solomon Hykes, creator of Docker, has been demoing dagger.io as a solution for this.

#DevOpsDays TLV IS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to announce that @shykes.bsky.social CEO & Co-Founder of Dagger & Creator of Docker will be KEYNOTING #DevOpsDays TLV 2025! π₯³ π₯
π He will be taking our stage on December 11th at Expo TLV & you WON'T WANT TO MISS IT! π

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.

Really compelling demo by @shykes.bsky.social building a βmini Devinβ 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. π€―

@shykes.bsky.social is bringing something new to #MCPDevSummit tomorrow!
Typed interfaces arenβt just a nice-to-have, theyβre 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
Catch the session Typed Composition with MCP at the #MCPDevSummit on May 23 β @shykes.bsky.social of @dagger.io will be exploring how typed interfaces make context orchestration more robust and reliable

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

Earthly team: you built something special, and made it this far in a tough market. I hope your new product will be a smashing success.
Earthly community: I hope you'll give Dagger a chance. It's not a drop-in replacement, but I'm confident that it can be a great alternative. π§΅
Our friends at Earthlyπ 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. π§΅
You can find the @dagger.io + @docker.com model runner demo we presented with @shykes.bsky.social during #KubeConEU github.com/eunomie/local-β¦ The repository contains everything you need to test it and get started on AI Agents!

Want to start building agents, but not sure where to start?
Join @saiyampathak.com's livestream happening now! @shykes.bsky.social and @kylepenfound.com will walk you through how to do it step-by-step.

Wait π€ 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 π
There is a flake! No core package though.

I will be going live the Solomon Hykes (Founder of Dagger and co founder of Docker) and Dagger team with this exclusive workshop on Dagger and AI agents. This will be fun so be sure to sign up and ask questions live!
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? π€©
Well, we built it! dagger.io/blog/dagger-...

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.
See docs.dagger.io/ai-agents
There is a hidden 'dagger llm' command
