ChatGPT tries to be too helpful, and in doing so, it complicates simple tasks. It’s like an investment agent who keeps talking smoothly to get more money from you the longer you keep talking.

I’ve been running my life on four pillars—WINS: Wealth, Insights, Network, and Self. Hermes helps me with each of these. I wrote a series of blog posts on how I use Hermes: www.jjude.com/tech-notes/... I also edited and wrote a mini guide on my usage. Hope you find it useful: jjude.in/hermesguide

I asked Hermes to read @simonwillison.net post and asked it to list what all it can do. It came up with this table Except one-click deploy to cloudflare it can do all. It is also cheaper and portable. bsky.app/profile/sim...

I exported all Claude conversations and analyzed via Hermes agent. I knew Claude had "memory" but didn't know it even holds "reflections" I am also exporting ChatGPT conversations. I will have a consolidated corpus and work with Hermes.

Debugging is an art. And bots are getting better at debugging. Here is how vercel bot helped to identify the true problem behind SSL_ERROR on my blog. www.jjude.com/tech-notes/...

jjude.com

The day my blog "broke" and a Vercel bot helped me solve it

A sudden SSL_ERROR on my site sent me down a two-hour DNS rabbit hole across Cloudflare, Netlify, and Vercel — until a Vercel bot nudged me toward the real cause.

Indian IT companies expect you to work 24 hours, 7 days a week And be updated on all the latest technology And be sharp every day And .... And pay as less as allowed by law And then wonder why the employees are not enthusiastic.

It’s surprising how much you can get done for $10 a month. • Stock research • Invoice generation • Extract highlights from YT videos • Write blog drafts • Distribute content across social media • and more I wrote a post explaining all of these: www.jjude.com/tech-notes/...

I see a new option in OpenCode Go. Allow models to train on request data. All these models, providers, gateways are hungry for data. Sooner or later everyone will train on your data whether you allow it or not. (Remember all these models are trained on free corpus on the net)

Match your social proof to your prospect's vertical. Agency prospects need agency case studies. SaaS prospects need SaaS wins. Irrelevant proof = ignored emails.

Why our GenZ speak in such abusive language? Bertrand Russell might offer a clue. He said: “The boy who has been taught at home that it is wicked to swear easily loses this belief when he finds that the boys whom he most admires swear whole-heartedly.” When leaders swear and insult, kids copy them

What is an engineering mind? A customer told GM, his car wouldn’t start after buying vanilla ice cream. GM sent an engineer to solve it. That story might say more about an engineer's mind. Read in my latest CTO Field Notes: www.ctofieldnotes.com/p/when-agen... (While you are there, subscribe too)

Cloudflare hosts Deepseek. I use that via OpenRouter (there are others too). But why OpenCode region gates Deepseek to China? Any reasons? Any ideas?

Starting to read, "DeepSeek in Practice". This is what I see - the authors call DeepSeek as open-source LLM. Is it technically open-source or open-weighted? Now I've a doubt if I should read the book. What do you think?

Is openrouter slower than opencode for agents? I switched to OR recently. I see the responses are slower (takes 3-4 min) and sometimes timeout too

An interesting agentic tool: treg.to/ Open Router for agentic tools. OR routes models Treg routes tools You don't need separate subscriptions. One subscription covers everything. Will test this.

From the hermesagent community on Reddit: I spent hours comparing models. Turns out the model was never the problem.

Auditing hermes setup. If your agentic setup doesn't perform to your satisfaction, the model may not be the problem. How you've set it up might be. I came across this reddit post, so I audited my setup and modified it per the recommendations. www.reddit.com/r/hermesage...

Ran out of my OpenCode quota yesterday, not from heavy use. I use DeepSeek Flash with the OpenCode Go subscription. $60/month in credits. Generous. Yesterday, OC stopped routing to DSF outside China. Switched to expensive Kimi. I had jobs running. They all hit Kimi. Quota gone before I caught it.

The Road to the CTO Office Still Runs Through Code

I used Cathryn's Diagram Design skill with Hermes to generate diagram for my latest CTO Field Notes Thank you Cathryn for those 29 different diagrams. www.ctofieldnotes.com/p/the-road-...

Five years ago I mapped the developer-to-CTO journey as a layered pyramid. The agentic era didn't tear it down. It reshaped what's inside each layer.

Been using opencode go with hermes for almost 10 days. Though my default model has been deepseek, today it started giving me this error Anyone else getting this?
