Adding Langfuse Observability to Hermes Agent (Self-Hosted, the Hard Parts Included)
How do you add observability to Hermes Agent with self-hosted Langfuse? A walkthrough of enabling the bundled plugin, the SDK gotcha that silently kills tracing, per-model cost tracking on Coolify, and what the traces actually look like.
The Trends of Engineering in AI: Prompt, Context, Harness, Loop, and Evaluation
What’s the difference between prompt engineering, context engineering, harness engineering, loop engineering, and evaluation engineering? A side-by-side comparison with diagrams for AI engineers building production systems.
My Subagents Lied to Me: What Happened When I Let AI Research Autonomously
How do you know if an AI agent is telling the truth? When my research agents fabricated 11 model names and 4 fake paper titles, I learned the hard way that autonomous AI research requires independent verification.
Miss One Weekend, Fall Behind One Month
I went on a weekend trip. I came back to a new Claude, a new GPT and an existential crisis. The pace of AI is no longer monthly. It’s weekly.
AI in AI: What I Learned Analysing AI in the Adult Industry
I went down the rabbit hole of AI in the adult industry. I expected simple chatbots; I found a sophisticated engineering stack pushing the boundaries of edge computing, privacy and opensource AI.
