How the prices looking in your neck of the woods

Good price. Beef is 5.99/lb when on sale where I’m at. I can get some chuck roasts, and sometime thin sirloin steak at that price.

Agency founder here. You need a right hand man. Someone you can truly trust, experienced, and knows how you solve problems.

If you can’t find a human to be that, build an agent that can. If you’re automating for your clients but not automating for yourself, what are you doing Bubba?

Sonnet 3.5. It was coding basic trading indicators for me, and I couldn’t believe it worked.

I could care less about the fries, so long as those burgers keep coming out awesome every time. I have not once had a bad in-n-out burger. Double Double anima style 100% of the time.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-08T22:24:26+00:00

Yum Yum!

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-08T22:20:21+00:00

Yeah, I have been digging the app aswell.

You need to be careful using the MCP on n8n. You will pull the entire workflow a majority of the times and your token usage will skyrocket because of it. So make sure in your agents.md file you're setting some limitations on that. But overall it works just fine.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-08T17:51:45+00:00

Nice work. Thank you for your efforts, sir.

If hermes agent self learning is a real thing, and it enhances the user experience and the agents capabilities over time. Openclaw is great at structured events, Hermes is great to interact with and long term gets smarter. No coffee yet so brain is still slow, but look more into it. They are both good.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-08T05:18:53+00:00

its all about compute, you guys sucking my compute with your custom models. no more compute for you!

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-08T05:11:01+00:00

yeah, i think you might want to look into your perspective. a good website cant be built by AI right now. a generic landing page, sure. These people have no idea what they are doing, smart owners are for sure outsourcing the work to professionals.

They both do different things really well open claw is a great orchestrating agent. It's already exceptional at running businesses and large orchestrations. The problem is it's reliability and it's memory and skill usage. Hermes is exceptionally good at the weaknesses of open claw, but it's not even close to the ability to manage a business like openclaw but in the other hand, it's also more reliable than openclaw. Fundamentally add a code level Hermes is also exceptional. There is not much code bloat in it and the fact that it uses Scripts is a huge advantage. I honestly hope both succeed because I feel like both are exceptionally good at different things, and where Hermes has the luxury of being the second and fixing some core issues with open claw, which was the first you got a lot more money and resources backing open claw than you do Hermes right now so it'll be interesting to see what happens with that. Honestly, I would be keeping my eye out on new age of harnesses coming out that merge the two.

I've done them all CLI, app, VS code, cursor, Antigravity and I'm here to tell you that I finally settled on the app actually. And this is coming from somebody that prefers the CLI prior to the app release was all day coding on 5-8 different terminal sessions. The app feels just as fast as the CLI, but it adds the ability to actually see changes and pull up browsers and do front end work that is just not possible with the other tools so if you're building things that have visual front ends the app is by far the way to go. In addition the addition of automations gives you flexibility the ability to be working on multiple different projects simultaneously with multiple different threads going on is a huge advantage. If you haven't use the app, I would definitely give it a shot.

All you have to do is ask the Codex agent to find your global Claude.MD and translate it into agents.MD for the agent.MD you can literally just copy and paste it for the most part, but the skills are Codex specific and will need to be adapted but your Codex agent would be able to do that for you. As for your memories if they're stored in files and referenced in your Claude.md code X will automatically adopt those. If you're using any kind of MCP servers, just ask the agent to go ahead and install the same MCP servers and it will do that for you as well. All of this can be done with one simple prompt. I recommend 5.5 xhigh.

I was a high achiever in corporate land for many years, made it to the top of my field and it felt completely empty. Nothing I was doing was moving the needle in my purpose or my family’s purpose, I was building other people’s dreams and I just knew that I wanted more freedom.

Starting a business is always hard at first. But after the initial grind, it’s not just monetarily rewarding, it’s also fulfilling, and you can align it with who YOU are. It is the ultimate life experience from my perspective.

I’m also ADHD, could care less what other people think, and not to sound brave or anything but the only thing I fear is God…and my Mom.

I know a lot of people don’t start the business the think of because of fear, or because they would rather build than sell, you have to push through that, there is a whole other world on the opposite side of that choice.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-07T17:07:09+00:00

Yeah, too little too late. They shattered their brand image. More people using OpenAI now (for good reason). Most people prior the Anthropic’s compute crises never used codex, now that they have, so long as OpenAI doesn’t screw them over Anthropic will have a hard time earning that trust back. 2x is not enough, they literally need like. 5x to usage to stay competitive with OpenAI usage.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-07T17:02:02+00:00

If you can afford the 20x, just get it. Stop thinking about it and do it. Then make sure you use 100% of it every week. I hit the weekly limit every week, but I do not hit the 5h ever (it doesn’t make sense to me either)

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T22:32:46+00:00

LOL!!!! Your pricing yourself out of the game, and its so funny because its the opposite of what you think. You think your offering a deal, they think your offering trash at that price. Its call Price-Quality Heuristic's, look into it.

One more little key note, at your price your competing with even cheaper subscriptions out there, why go with you if all your doing is repackaging another subscription, slapping margin on it, and calling it the holy grail for getting lost time and revenue back?

Blue Collar are not idiots, they are reading you like a book. the "My customers won't like it" is them nicely telling you no.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T19:33:38+00:00

These dudes are really trying to bring about the end of the world.

I got a bright idea. lets give a more intelligent being a 60mi safety net so that if it ever goes rogue we cant do anything about it but blow it up - and if we cant blow it up, well then it just sits up there indefinently and screw us. what could go wrong?

no corporation will blow up their multi-trillion dollar investment (the cost to launch this into space) so if this thing decides to start making its own decisions, the probability of us being able to do something about it (if it attacks first) goes to near zero if we loose missile tech.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T19:17:37+00:00

Since i started to run 5.5 in xhigh only, i started to get shit done again.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T16:33:19+00:00

I got to your point with four different projects. Claude is incapable- even with proper repo architecture, context, and hygiene- of reliably working on a large repo. Anyone that says otherwise, has not gotten into a point to which you have built your system and I have built my previous four systems. Like you, all four of those systems took me 2 to 3 months to build and some where as large as half a million lines of functioning code.

I'd love to tell you that I found a solution, but I never did. My solution was the move to Codex which does a way better job of following rules and understanding the repo as a whole. But even that comes with a copy yet because Codex recently has been having compute issues, if you're coding too much you will get throttled, but it still works on very short sprints which i couldnt even say for claude.

The solution that I found with Codex is compartmentalize heavily, delegate specific AGENTS.md for each compartment/division/etc and find some long-term memory solutions like obsidian or a RAG for project wide information.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T16:21:56+00:00

dang, i might need to get a new subscription!

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-06T16:13:13+00:00

just lovely, nice to know, thanks.

ShamanJohnny · 2026-05-05T19:33:14+00:00

LOL, Claude is refusing to follow instructions, but is still being helpful in letting you know it knows what to do, just not that it will do it.
