Thank you.

For one, did you get rich beyond all comprehension and did you start a band with your wealth?

Second, do you still program ?

I was lucky enough to get in this industry when Docker was new. Sure beats trying to figure out why X happens on machine A and doesn’t on machine B.

I did make a bunch of money with Docker, something I am eternally grateful for.

I did not start a band, but I did build a nice house, help my family etc.

I still program everyday, working on my second startup, https://dagger.io (please forgive the plug). We have a very active discord if you want to come say hi.

  • I work heavily with CI/CD. From a quick glance Dagger looks very promising and I might experiment with it this weekend.

    I guess my follow up question is once you’re financially independent, what continues to motivate you?

    Is it fun?

    Do you feel like you’re creating tools that the industry needs.

    I imagine if I ever get rich I’d work on music and small games.

    Video games that you buy once and get to play forever, self host, etc. With a full open source commitment within 5 years or so. I’d probably create a game studio in a lower cost of living country though.

    • If you do try Dagger, please join our Discord and tell us how it goes! There's a very friendly and active community of CI/CD nerds, who will be happy to help.

      We actually use the same Discord server for community and private team communications. So we are literally there all the time.

  • How’s dagger’s k8s and/or rust story?

    • We are working on making Rust builds much faster, and easier to distribute on a cluster.

      When self-hosting Dagger, you can run it on Kubernetes. Beyond that, we don't use Kubernetes at all ourselves.

  • Commenting to be able to find your CI/CD project when back at my desk.
