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.
>I did make a bunch of money with Docker
Shortly before this (the weekend after you secured YC funding, IIRC), I['m almost certain I] met you in downtown Oakland at Saagar & Tiffany's /r/bayarea meetup [0] – won't go into further details, other than I was one of their co-conspirators =P
My point of writing this is dualfold:
1) Thank you for sharing your design – I literally just installed my first Docker module (last week) and am floored at all the problems Docker might help me solve (I am not employed in tech)
2) My recollections of you, this decade+ later, was of a humble young man (we're the same age) that didn't know what else to do with his newfound techfame (and money) than keep'on keepin'on.
After watching your Docker Debut video, I'm fairly certain it WAS you: we chatted about dirtbikes (and just what the hell you were going to do now that you "had money" – then such a foreign concept to us both)... if this wasn't you it still seems to echo in your mannerisms/tact/approach. May your humbleness and cleverness prevail!
[0] It might have been at Gustafson's NYE party (I was the guy remorselessly conjuringbitches; "Volcano"); we had a mutual friend at MalwareBytes?
Commenting to be able to find your CI/CD project when back at my desk.

Thank you!
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.
