Episode notes

Q length doesn't like being generated, basically. It's really designed to be the thing that you're right and it generates everything else. And so we were trying to use Q for something it was just not designed for. So eventually we we stumble upon graph QL. The dagger engine has an API which is a graph QL API. We got bindings for these different languages and they're actually generated from the graph QLschema. When we ship a new feature on the API, boom, all the SDKs get regenerated and you get native support in them. Yeah. Well, I'm not sure if you heard it or not, Solomon, but we had Kelsey high

This week we’re joined by Solomon Hykes, the creator of Docker. Now he’s back with his next big thing called Dagger — CI/CD as code that runs anywhere. We’re users of Dagger so check out our codebase if you want to see how it works. On today’s show Solomon takes us back to the days of Docker, what it was like on that 10 year journey, his transition from Docker to Dagger, Dagger’s community-led growth model, their focus on open source and community, how it works, and even a cameo from Kelsey Hightower to explain how Dagger works.
