Dagger lets you write CI/CD pipelines in your programming language — TypeScript, Python, Go. Runs locally and in any CI. No more YAML.
Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
