"A lot of people are very uncomfortable with the fact that they are essentially just CRUD monkeys. They just make systems that create, read, update or delete rows in a database, and they have to compensate for that existential dread by overcomplicating things."

Everyone I know personally who’s doing really good in their career has some passion outside of work.

just noticed that whole day had at least one agent doing something
claude (for learning) -> copilot (work) -> hermes (personal stuff)

so I created a personal AI Assistant with @NousResearch hermes agent, running on most basic droplet by @digitalocean and my @GitHubCopilot subscription
Using the agent since last 2 days without any cost. @digitalocean gives you $200 credits on new account

But can the personal AI agents add actual value? I can try to create an AI assistant and then replace all my productivity, habits tracker apps with the AI assistant
Later I can build graphs to visually see how am i progressing, this can be cool side project.

Now we have frontend agents, running on the browser, so many browser workflows can be automated with this @Agent0ai awesome work

The personal AI agents are getting so cool, especially Hermes Agent by @NousResearch, I played around with a bit on my local machine and it was really easy to setup.
I created a docker image with all the tools required to install hermes agent quickly, if anyone want to give it a quick run

Here is the docker image: hub.docker.com/repository/do…
It acts like a VPS, so if you later want to move your agent from local to actual VPS, you can do it easily

Honestly, building AI Apps is genuinely hard, not a demo, but actual production-level software. Like, how do you even test the behavior of a probabilistic system? and make sure it's reliable
Even more difficult is building AI Apps that provides actual business value.

Now that I think of it, I don't really need IDE anymore, I need something really light weight and fast which just shows me code and diffs of change that agent did. Maybe I should try vim again.

OVERRATED: running tons of agents in parallel; working on too many things at once; perpetual context-switching; opening lots of low-quality PRs that may never land.
UNDERRATED: using one or two agents at a time; focusing on the task in front of you; thinking deeply; finishing stuff; making your code works in prod.

ok, solving DSA using python helps in learning python properly. Coming from Java, I love how clean it is — no massive syntax, no unnecessary imports everywhere.
But one thing felt so weird to me… why do booleans in Python start with capital letters? True and False just look off 🤔
Apr 12
I always avoided python, it's syntax was never intuitive for me, and almost everything that can be done in python, I was able to find workaround with JS/TS, but looks like there is no running away from python now.
Maybe I should start practicing DS/Algo in python, Idk why I still do that in Java
