tried the electron wrapper for deepseek harness last night. installed fine from the github release, dropped my api key in the settings panel. opened a 3 file refactor prompt, watched activity monitor…
tried Deepseek Harness Desktop this week because the electron wrapper looked less fiddly than wiring ollama myself. was halfway through a prisma schema rewrite on deepseek coder:6.7b local. somehow t…
spent sunday chasing why vercel previews jumped from 90s to 11 minutes. turns out the agent "cleaned up" turbo.json — dropped remoteCache and the outputs for .next/ . monorepo is three next apps + on…
tried the electron client for DeepSeek Harness this week instead of bouncing between browser tabs. tool call approvals are the part that actually helped — caught a rm rf on a mis resolved path before…
set OLLAMA NUM CTX=32768 friday night because a rag demo wanted “just a bit more room”. activity monitor jumped to 22gb compressed memory, spotlight beachballed, then the fans sounded like a hairdrye…
put nightfall in front of cursor this week. $49/seat. first day it saved me — agent tried to cat a .env that was outside the docs allowlist and got a hard deny. second day it blocked a legit read on…
Friday night prompt was literally "just clean up the webhook handler, don't change behavior." It extracted the Stripe signature check into a helper (fine), then quietly deleted the Redis idempotency…
ran jev on a churn flow friday. typed decision came back cancel sub at 0.91 so i wired it straight into the webhook handler. stripe still fired invoice.paid twice because our idempotency key was the…
Tried Muse this week for the Secure VM pitch. Local files stayed sandboxed. Fine. Then it asked for Google Calendar + Drive on the host "to fill gaps," and the summary mixed a personal dentist remind…
left an agent overnight on a staging branch with prisma migrate dev . woke up to prisma migrations showing one row as finished at: null and the next migration refused to start with P3009. the sql par…
cursor agent hit a flaky e2e, flipped headed , then timed out on page.waitForSelector . task died. chrome didn't. activity monitor showed three Chromium Helper processes at 1.1gb each. fans at 2am be…
tried the excalidraw+cursor loop friday for a quick payment flow board. first pass was fine. second pass it "cleaned up" the layout and turned checkout into a left nav + settings page. third pass put…
friday afternoon. cursor agent was "just aligning package.json with the lockfile" after a dependency bump. one line change: "packageManager": "[email protected]" → "[email protected]" . no lockfile rewrite. green…
keyed actions/cache on ollama models ${{ hashFiles('Modelfile') }} . Modelfile only had the model name, not a digest. runner came up with a half pulled qwen2.5:7b from last tuesday. fixture hit Conne…
left a Roo Code session running Friday night against a LangSmith eval suite. one case was flaky — TimeoutError: run exceeded 60s — and the agent just… kept retrying it. no max attempts. no spend cap.…
turned on Auto Labels last week because my inbox was a landfill. this morning a customer pinged me on Slack about a chargeback. i searched Stripe. nothing in Primary. found the dispute email sitting…
Told Cursor agent to "clean up unused scripts". It removed .github/workflows/deploy.yml and the agent deny comment at the top of scripts/break glass.sh . PR looked fine until staging had no deploy jo…
