I think im missing something, don't all harnesses (opencode, pi, etc) already do stuff like "retry"? As far as I can see, when a tool call fails in either, the model gets the error back to correct.

F# is my coding love language that I never get to use (outside of personal projects) :(

Im not really sure what you are comparing here.

* You predownload the "image" which is the part that takes long in docker * You also run inside of `lima` which is already a virtualized layer

What is the thing that is faster? I do love microvms and firecracker, but this article makes no sense to me.

Nice find. Its a bit strange that the PRs listed there, are not present at all in the coinbase repo. Seems like the attack was directed there, but I also did not hear anything from Coinbase on this.

eg. Target their NPM and PYPI tokens, so they can push compromised packages.

Docker Desktop includes the easy to run Docker Engine / Docker Machine. I think is fair to assume that most of the revenue is not from users that want a GUI but from users that want a stable Docker Engine experience.

I think many of the performance points here are a trait of a VM in Cloud more than K8s, and they would be no different if running in EC2 right?

> Not sure how much or if this had influence from Guava at all

I don't see any similarity between the two that would lead me to believe that there is influence. Why do you mention this?

This seems like a plug to your product more than anything else.

I like the idea of Dagger and have been following for a while, but it seems like its tailored to get people to use their Cloud product. eg. Caching.

Is that not the case?

Congrats on the launch, certainly good to see competition.

I was reading https://www.ubicloud.com/blog/ubicloud-hosted-arm-runners-10... but seems like a bit misleading to compare an ARM workload over QEMU vs a native ARM.

What about native x86 vs native x86 or at least native x86 vs native arm?

Well then, it must be really bad if with all those features and many years it did not manage to gain so many users.

Bad replies, to bad replies

GitOps (as in ArgoCD style workflows) is not nice. Deploying from code, and storing all infra, etc as code is great, but this pull based approach creates IMHO a really decoupled and inconvenient deployment pipeline.

Nice! How long does `node -v` take now?

EDIT: OK, I see the main trick is to use PATH instead of shims.

> rtx does not use shims and instead updates PATH so that it doesn't have any overhead when simply calling binaries

There is a good reason `asdf-vm` uses shims, and is that it does not have to interplay or worry about other tools that set PATH and tools that need a reference to an executable could be simply set to `~/.asdf/shims`.

Ill take it for a spin, but this choice might have a lot of consequences that are not easy to foresee. A good example is `direnv` which as you mention in the README now requires to be set in `.envrc` and then disable global `rtx` hook I guess.

This looks really cool, I find the mix between Zapier and Code to be :chef-kiss:

Do you plan to allow for self-hosting? eg. An org that wants to have a private version of this, or even internal version of it.

I believe there isn't and that is part of the problem with GDPR in my experience.

I only see 1 user confirming it and he had a special or odd disk setup (merged disks which also do not show as merged, might be the source of the problem).

Is this confirmed by anyone else?

Does it have "easy" side-cars/init/post? Last time I checked those were missing for example.
