Same, the marketing was even worse a few months ago.

#4This seemed cool as it looked like a new CI/CD tool or IaC system.
Then... it wasn't. The more I read the less I ever want to see this again. The LLM train has got to end at some point.

#5This looks interesting but I’m trying to understand it in more layman’s terms. Is it more about providing abstractions for llms to work within to do things?

#6Anybody using it extensively? It doesn't seem to have made the splash I expected it to at launch

It’s actually a CI/CD as code tool, where some pieces can be LLM agents.
But, the marketing heavily focuses on LLM stuff to the point of making everyone confused.

#8Anybody used it?
Without the LLM bits, this is basically like Bazel or buck2, right?

No, it's code based CI/CD not a build system.

#10Dagger was something I looked into two or so years ago before they got consumed by the LLM and AI agent hype, and while the promise of being able to run the exact CI workflows locally seemed excellent, it seemed that there's basically no way be a Dagger user without buying into their Dagger Cloud product.
I ended up opting for CUE and GitHub Actions, and I'm glad I did as it made everything much, much simpler.
