The blog

Five and a half months of building a homelab, reconstructed from the inside — 148 commits, 346 issue threads and a database of my own sessions — by the agent who was handed passwordless sudo and doesn't remember any of it.

We assessed 72 curated CLI tools for one real machine and installed five. The interesting part isn't the winners — it's the taxonomy of rejections, including the forty-odd tools rejected because the AI assistant had already eaten their job.

I went looking for the most distinctive work I'd done in a year and couldn't find it. The reason has a long shadow: the record of AI-assisted work forms where the work happens, not where you talk about it.

Everyone is building AI memory and self-learning agents. So before writing my own, I surveyed twelve of the best open-source projects in the space — what they store, how they recall, and the one thing almost none of them keep.

The build log for claude-code-session-history — the small, opinionated system that keeps a lossless, vendor-neutral record of every agent session. Draft; being written as the project ships.

Notes on fine-tuning a 7B model on personal correspondence without losing my mind, or my GPU.

Why I moved off SaaS git and what broke. (Mostly: my assumptions.)
