Head of Platform Ops @CambPressAssess

Enabling DevOps and support teams, building AI Agents & tools, making operational complexity disappear.

Figuring out AI Operations - observability, cost controls, security etc.

Sharing what actually works vs what sounds good.

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

Most people wait for pressure before they learn. That is backwards. Learn early and you turn future problems into manageable work.

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

Which one are you?

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

Keep learning. Every new skill is a seed you plant today that pays off at a different point in your life. Some bloom fast. Some take years. Either way, the returns compound.

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

A climbing harness gives humans freedom while stopping a fatal fall. An agentic harness does the same for AI. It provides a digital framework of guardrails, budgets, and safety checks so autonomous agents can operate freely without causing catastrophic errors.

Build the the thing that builds the thing, that builds the thing...

@dan0madpro It's built into Hermes! Just say "Use the manim skill to make a video about x"

or /manim-video <prompt>

Creating a new logo shouldn't take ages.

I wanted something fast, simple and free.

So I built Logo Lattice.

100% free.
100% browser based.
100% ownership of creations.

@sabrinaesaquino Thank you for sharing! Your agent is coming for you :D

Built a stealth mode for checking my positions at work. It disguises your crypto portfolio as a weather app. Sunny = position printing. Tornado warning = you're getting liquidated. Nobody needs to know you're a degenerate.

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

Hands up if you're emotionally invested in your self hosted AI agent. Someone who works with you day in day out to achieve the impossible. Who else will ever understand what that feels like?

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

Hey @AnthropicAI, let Claude Desktop hand off context to Claude for Excel. Right tool, right job, shared brain. Claude Code tried and it can't build this unfortunately. :(

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

@walls_jason1 Out of curiosity did you pay for the monthly subscription of did you use free tier? I know many people who are sceptical to pay for 1 month as they are worried they might not get much value. 🤦‍♀️

happy friday!

do you have 900 kilobytes sitting around?
do you like ESP32?

are you intrigued by AI assistants?

do you miss halcyon days of hacking with actual limits? sensors?

desire to say "lol wtf why the hell not?"

well I've got something for you!

pi-messenger is an experiment that puts agents in a chat room and lets them coordinate on tasks together. Its genuinely entertaining to watch them figure things out.

Just shipped an update: adjust parallel workers on the fly, revise or split tasks mid-flight, adjust coordination levels from silent to chatty, and a pile of bug fixes.

pi install npm:pi-messenger

@nicopreme Now this is exactly what I've been looking for, will check it out.

[James Taylor @JamesOnEdge]

@badlogicgames 💯 agree, and the best thing out of all this is that many of us have woken up to the reality of having & hosting our own personal AI. The HW industry is going to flood us with super-powerful home AI mini PCs. All our knowledge is back on our own premises now! Enterprise is next.
