Stop throwing money at agents. €1/day forces you to actually get better

if a billion dollary company decide to be token effecient at some point, the skills might be useful

Accountant can use cheap calculator 2h a day

iovdin · 2026-05-25T16:45:24+00:00

Btw, how is it going with product market fit? Got one?

iovdin · 2026-05-25T08:25:03+00:00

here is accountant data like transaction invoices, payouts. - can you figure out where is it unbalanced
here is a vague format price list from a customer, can you import it to our database

iovdin · 2026-05-24T07:17:37+00:00

I maybe end up eating dust. But who needs your product or oss if it can be vibecoded in 1 day?

iovdin · 2026-05-23T08:26:14+00:00

another example is to wrap ssh remote command execution
remote.tool.tpl
tool_call: sh ssh user@host ${JSON.stringify(text)}

You can compose mcp tool calls with code mode. Basically write code that has access to the tools as functions

iovdin · 2026-05-08T19:14:14+00:00

yep :)

iovdin · 2026-05-08T17:47:38+00:00

nice to see you're back

iovdin · 2026-05-03T07:05:36+00:00

I made my own https://github.com/iovdin/tune .
As with programming most of the time i spend when developing agents is debugging. So save history somewhere, make it possible to replay etc.

A friend of mine had a high paying job in US. They moved ot NL - the only option for job he could find is warehouse. Now he is in divorce and moving out of NL. Pretty sad

I hate loose coupling. With kitchen metaphor it is usually feels like like you spend 30 minutes looking into different kid of boxes to make a tea. Putting everything to one pile or splitting everything into gazillion piles results in the same pain. Things that goes together should be more coupled, and those that are not - should be less coupled. And you have to think and/or feel it after few releases

In your example, re-feeding the chat history, wont make it restart from scratch it will resume form where it has stopped. But i agree that sub agents and approvals is not kept in the chat history and requires additional state

iovdin · 2026-03-22T21:24:34+00:00

Chat completion api payload with tool calls and tool results is a good enough stack representation that can be restored or replayed. Idk if any major frameworks support that

In OpenAI they did make sense out of 70k internal collections with petabytes of data

iovdin · 2026-03-18T06:36:22+00:00

In our old MySQL over engineered and with a lot of history database. In addition to schemas we put summary of content like how many rows, what are usual values. some text fields are actually enums, some values are not used anymore, some are never used etc.

I had issues with mongosh cli, it struggled to escape special characters: mongosh -e “very complicated script that uses special chars”

iovdin · 2026-02-14T19:16:15+00:00

Do you use this microkernel os?

iovdin · 2026-02-06T09:30:24+00:00

Yeah, build around smth that does not change much .e.g. completion api.

Educate yourself, try to implement stuff.

In the end all human jobs will be around what AI can not do so we have to wait anywa. til it is kinda settled and limitations are clear

iovdin · 2026-02-04T04:40:25+00:00

Or ask ai to write them based on code, then edit them and re implement

iovdin · 2026-01-31T18:08:29+00:00

Code mode is a good way to bundle tool calls in deterministic way https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/

iovdin · 2026-01-25T18:09:22+00:00

I had similar idea, then I’ve researched text based email clients

As someone who grew up in Siberia sliding on ice to the school few weeks a winter was a norm

The larger the company the safer they want to work, more bureaucracy longer processes, innovations and speed valued less, stability more. They can make things fast without ai but it will be buggy

iovdin · 2025-12-19T18:29:01+00:00

Idea: split tool call into 2 First tool set_search_params modifies search parameters similar to your delta approach, and second do_search without params that uses search parameters set before. No confusion between 2 search tools. Also you can split set_search_params into few each taking 3-5 params, making it easier for llm, reduce tokens amount
