“Use your own models, keep your code private, and customize everything. The open-source approach to AI coding.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Open-source AI code assistants with model flexibility will capture users who want privacy and control.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
