Maintainer Adam Kaplan discusses the project's origins in OpenShift and its path to becoming a CNCF Sandbox project, including the application process and resources available once accepted. He also argues that AI bots can take on tedious, long-standing work, but projects should preserve 'good first issues' so new human contributors can still learn. The full interview and a companion blog post are available at 808labs.io. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Shipwright and how does it relate to Kubernetes? Shipwright is a tool that lets developers build container images on Kubernetes using their own choice of build tools, separate from Kubernetes's role of running those containers. It originated from OpenShift and became a CNCF Sandbox project, a status that opens up application processes and resources for ongoing project development. _Maintainers evaluating Kubernetes-native build tools can follow project updates like Shipwright's on daily.dev._ ### Should AI bots be assigned good first issues in open source projects? No, according to Shipwright maintainer Adam Kaplan, who argues that while bots can handle tedious work and long-standing problems, projects should preserve 'good first issues' specifically so new human contributors still have opportunities to learn and get involved. _Open source maintainers weighing AI's role in contributor workflows can track this debate on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [What building Shippy taught us about building agents](https://daily.dev/posts/what-building-shippy-taught-us-about-building-agents-dgvbcxdcx) · Hugging Face · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Kubernetes co-founder Brendan Burns: AI-generated code will become as invisible as assembly](https://daily.dev/posts/kubernetes-co-founder-brendan-burns-ai-generated-code-will-become-as-invisible-as-assembly-eysxfexji) · The New Stack · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI Agent Fleet for CI/CD: How Docker Ships Faster](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-agent-fleet-for-ci-cd-how-docker-ships-faster-acrgrdbdx) · Docker · 29 upvotes · 0 comments - [Inside Platform Engineering with Piotr Szwed](https://daily.dev/posts/inside-platform-engineering-with-piotr-szwed-irxmbgfpj) · OctopusDeploy · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF's Chris Aniszczyk on 10 Years of Cloud Native & AI Infrastructure](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-s-chris-aniszczyk-on-10-years-of-cloud-native-ai-infrastructure-7l9g2yjtx) · OpenSSF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#cncf](https://daily.dev/tags/cncf) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/container-builds-on-kubernetes-and-why-bots-shouldn-t-get-good-first-issues-e92xcpqrx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Container builds on Kubernetes, and why bots shouldn’t get good first issues","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/container-builds-on-kubernetes-and-why-bots-shouldn-t-get-good-first-issues-e92xcpqrx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/container-builds-on-kubernetes-and-why-bots-shouldn-t-get-good-first-issues-e92xcpqrx"},"datePublished":"2026-10-31T07:13:25.059Z","dateModified":"2026-10-31T07:13:45.635Z","description":"Shipwright lets you build containers on Kubernetes using your choice of build tools.
