Started to add grafana boards and otel/RUM to pretty much every development env now. Makes it so much easier to spot issues and get a good feedback cycle early on the process for your agents.
funny thing, but if you want to find jank your coding agents are doing or potential nonsense, just grep your past sessions for the frequency of the word "honest" in assistant messages and track writes to /tmp
seems dumb, but it's a great proxy metric.
Playing around with the deepseek harness. Got it to run the whole night doing a bunch of different k8s maintenance and debugging stuff.
I'm very impressed at how surprisingly good it is off the box at handling long horizon boring tasks,and their setup also makes it easy to check background processes, calls made and reconstructing all the things that happened in the sessions.
Also very pleased at how effective it is at searching other past sessions and dissecting things and patterns.
I've been really enjoying the deepseek harness for goal focused tasks. The ability to track the exact background tasks and context used is really useful. As well as supporting session search on workspace by default. Great implementer overall
Still using Pi for more complex tasks tho
As in, it's so cheap and so fast, yet so good at interacting with your codebase that it makes a lot of shit possible.
With the huge bonus that it is also incredibly good at building good software, dealing with delegating, and using your existing verification loops and processes
Don't sleep on pi.dev/packages/pi-blackhole for @pidotdev though.
Makes a lot of compaction summarization bullshit go away and I found it lets you run really long sessions of agents that delegate to agents while also preemptively tagging issues that emerge on your process or jank
Minimax H3 is lowkey amazing for complex user interaction design, specially if you use the right game design terms.
Makes sense, since model is omnimodal.
Can also just pull up a tablet pen and draw notes on some prototypes and H3 can animate. Then feed to deepseek and build
Seriously, give @skypilot_org a chance. Extreme versatile and useful tool if you do heavy agentic coding, but also super useful for serving your own models, running some large scale map reduce style model calls, iterate on kernel work etc,etc,etc
So. Versatile.
It's beautiful
