chologrande··on Dagger Python SDK: Develop Your CI/CD Pipelines as Code
Looping in ansible/terraform is exactly the problem. Logic and control flow in YAML/hcl is a nightmare. Plus there's no debugging! You can't set breakpoints in a yaml file or HCL.

Adding more YAML to be parsed by other YAML is just terrible at scale.

This post is for the python sdk, but the golang SDK is fantastic too.

Complete gamechanger to be able to move away from jenkins groovy CPS hell

chologrande··on Tesla faces U.S. criminal probe over self-driving claims
Any improvement _over_ 99.999% is impossible. Saying something like this is completely detached from reality. People _do_ buy cars that crash once a year. All the time. And often the defects in the system aren't even related to self driving functionality. Further, most drivers who get in a car have records far worse than that.
chologrande··on WebVM: WASM virtual machine in browser with networking via Tailscale
Interesting thought, but realistically what need is that serving besides curiosity?

Even chromebooks have real linux underneath, the scenario you're describing is so niche it's hard to imagine. IMO it makes much more sense to use free tier on a cloud provider

Projects like this are cool, but I can't help but wonder why?

What problem is this, or any WASM, solving? Why do we need a VM in the browser?

chologrande··on Show HN: Property Trends Scraped from Zillow
Do you intend to make the dataset available? I've attempted to do something similar, but had difficulty, would love access to the dataset.
chologrande··on Arcade City – Uber Decentralised with Lightning
Claiming to compete with uber, and then having precious little information on their website, aside from some PDF....

This screams more crypto scam. There's no visible difference to any other rideshare, other than the fact that they shout bitcoin.

chologrande··on Column – a chartered bank for developers
This looks really cool, but can someone help me understand more about where it fits in the market?

Is this for me, as a developer to just make my own bank accounts? Does this allow me to create a bank frontend SaaS and use column as the backend? Can I originate loans with this platform for myself, or maybe to others somehow?

tl;dr Who is the customer?

A terminal that requires me to log in. No thnx. Uninstalled.
chologrande··on Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
I guess I'm a little confused where the line here...

Where is dagger UI and how does it relate to your CI? I don't see it in docs or cli help. Sounds like Dagger UI in this context (above) is providing little value beyond logging if it's not doing workflow execution.

I ask not to talk down on the product, but because I'm actually quite interested. Local execution, plus containerized execution sounds awesome. Just trying to understand the vision.

> You can write one last Jenkinsfile that runs Dagger

I'm very confused by this sentiment. This approach loses the best of existing CI tooling does it not?

Jenkins users lose understanding of what's actually being executed, what stage they're in, and how long it took. It might provide convenience, and the a (great) benefit of running locally the same as in your CI environment, but it seems to me this would make it difficult for devs to easily understand where/why their build failed, since it just has one megastep.

chologrande··on Poll: Do you prefer the office or work from home?
I often feel like an overlooked part of working from home is the cost you have to take on to do so.

While I love the convenience of working from home, making an office space at home takes a huge portion of the square footage available for me. My company offers $100/mo as a stipend to work from home. This is approximately the cost of .25 square feet of real estate.

I can't afford to work from home, but I have to anyway. Most companies I know have closed down their offices. :(
