  I don't want to yuck your yum, since it seems like this solved your problem for your crew. However, I always value launch posts like this which have a "why not ..." section, since (a) it helps folks who want to adopt your toy to understand its tradeoffs and know if they are the right tradeoffs for the adopter (b) it shows that the system was at least plausibly well designed and not filled with "oh, is that a thing?!" which requires abandoning it shortly after stumbling on real problems (I think of this as "The JavaScript Framework Lifecycle")

  For example, this sure does look like Dagger <https://github.com/dagger/dagger#what-is-dagger> in its use of golang-as-ci <https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/daggerize#construct-a-pipe...> and plausibly "run ci locally"

  Dagger doesn't ship with a dashboard (that I know of) but I also struggle to think of why one would want an artisanal dashboard when <https://docs.github.com/en/actions/use-cases-and-examples/de...> and <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/index.html> exist in close proximity to the existing CI infrastructure. I guess if one is trying to be "CI agnostic" but my life experience is that trying to be CI agnostic leads to a lot of NIH which one cannot hire for and cannot take to the next job
