Coding agents might feel like magic, but they aren’t 🪄 That’s exactly why I’ve been eager lately to understand how they work under the hood, using the most natural approach I could think of: observability.

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Coding agents shouldn’t be black boxes ❌ If you’re calling models through APIs and can configure provider settings (base URL, API key, etc.), I highly recommend putting a local instrumented API proxy in front of them. I built one for the Anthropic Messages API:

Do you actually own your document parsing infrastructure? 👀 At LlamaIndex, we wanted to make that easier, so we built 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗲-𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿, a lightweight HTTP backend built on top of LiteParse that can parse and generate page screenshots from PDFs, images, and Office documents🦙

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I have one big problem with agentic engineering: I want agents to operate autonomously, but I also want granular, reversible control over every change they make. I could solve this by committing every intermediate step to Git, but that would completely pollute my repo history.

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

For 2026, I decided I'm going to build all of my side projects with Rust when possible🦀 So here's the first one: 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲, a self-hostable file storage application built on a modern open source stack, with a full Rust backend and a @react.dev + @vite.dev frontend🚀 With file-storage, you get:

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Scaling document pipelines is harder than it looks, and not because of tooling, but mostly because of orchestration⚙️ That's why I teamed up with @render.com and focused on building a system where each component does one job well, and scales independently:

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The LlamaParse MCP got a new face, and it is now easier than ever to run document processing workflows from your agents🚀

A few people reached out asking if they could contribute to 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁-𝗽𝘆, the library I created with a minimal, fully-typed and dependency-free implementation of the Rust Result type🦀

100

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Inspired by @dillonis.online's better-result library for the JS ecosystem, I published 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁-𝗽𝘆, a minimal library with the Rust Result type implementation for Python. It's fully typed, dependency-free, and supports both sync and async functions.

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

We’ve been cooking at @llamaindex.bsky.social🍳 Almost a month ago, we launched LlamaAgents Builder, a natural language interface for building agentic document workflows📁 Today, we’re excited to announce file upload support: add your PDFs, and the agent will use them to build your use case🚀

110

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Are you looking for a Make alternative?👀 Meet 𝗷𝗮𝗸𝗲, a task executor I wrote in Rust🦀 - Tasks are defined with TOML syntax - No .PHONY, no strict spacing rules - Tasks can depend on one another, and there are circular dependency checks - You can pass additional options to task when invoking them

110

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I built a Make-like CLI tool in Rust🦀 I noticed that my Makefiles mostly included simple commands, for whom Make syntax felt a tad too overengineered⚙️ That's why I created 𝗷𝗮𝗸𝗲 (that stands for "just make"):

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

The tech world went crazy for @openclaw, so I decided to build a similar crustacean agent called LobsterX🦞, with a focus on document-processing tasks. I wrote a blog about it: clelia.dev/2026-02-09-..., but, as a tl;dr:

Clelia Astra Bertelli @cle-does-things.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

While the world seems to be going crazy for OpenClaw/MoltBot (great work @steipete.me btw) and agents having their own Reddit, I decided to take a step back and reflect on why I don't vibe-code more (for those who don't know me: hi, I'm cle✨ and I hand-write approx. 70-80% of my code).
