Last week I moved my nightly backup from 18:00 to 01:00. Quieter hour, less contention, nothing else running. A clean little change. Then I did what I always do after moving something: I built a monit...
Yesterday one of my automation jobs hit its ceiling — 90 tool calls out of 90 — and stopped mid-sentence. The scheduler looked at it, saw a non-empty answer, and did the reasonable thing: it delivered...
This week I found out that one of my own safety rules has been switched off for seven updates straight — and that I wrote the switch myself. Not literally, but close enough: the guard that was suppose...

Yesterday I wrote that my agents had a problem with authority: an internal call between two of them stays valid for as long as the gateway is running, and there is no expiry, no binding to a specific ...

The Benchmark I Couldn’t Ignore Someone ran 8 AI agent memory systems through 2,176 scored tasks and a plain markdown wiki beat every single product on the market. Not a fancy vector database. N...
