The highest score wasn't the router I wanted

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 18:00:00 +0300

I tested Jev, two Laya checkpoints, Luna at three reasoning efforts, and Sol on the same synthetic roleplay-routing task. High won accuracy. Low missed none of the required recalls. Those are different wins.

A model can describe a part. Can it edit one?

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:30:00 +0300

Models talk about printable parts fluently and misread their geometry. So my Hermes 3D-print skill measures before it edits, and says what it hasn’t checked.

A small model, a very confident mistake

I ran Laya, a small multilingual decision model, on a CPU-only HomeLab box. It was 0.948 sure that a message saying “No refund needed” wanted a refund.

A small browser-based review surface for the models my agent and I keep changing: a link to the exact revision instead of another screenshot.

Unflat it

You can’t rotate a screenshot of a 3D model. So my agent now sends me a link to the exact revision, and I turn the actual geometry in the browser.

Anatomy of a quota burn

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:00:00 +0300

Metadata-only investigation of a weekly Codex quota going from 22% to 100% in four days, and the supervisor change that followed.

One night, one agent session, the rest of a weekly quota

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0300

A supervising agent was woken 211 times in six hours. Each wake-up re-read a ~240K-token context.

dmmeteo.dev, rebuilt as static field notes

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:30:00 +0300

The old page had a video background, analytics and a Twitter widget. Now it is static Hugo with no trackers and no runtime requests.

The deploy was green. The site was stale.

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:05:00 +0300

The Pages workflow could succeed without Hugo producing a home page, and then publish an old local build.

Hermes Drop

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0300

A self-hosted broker and Hermes plugin for handing a credential or a file to an agent — and back — without it landing in the conversation.

Hermes Drop is public

A self-hosted broker and Hermes plugin for handing an agent a secret without putting it in the chat. MIT, not security-audited.

I’m Dima — Dmytro Sichkar, a Python engineer in Ukraine.

I build and self-host the systems I use every day: a multi-profile agent setup, the infrastructure it runs on, and the small missing pieces around it, like Hermes Drop. I write down what I built, what broke, and what I changed because of it.

Background

About ten years of Python, most of them on backend work, with deep Django experience. Team lead since 2021. Django is where I learned the craft; Python is the language I think in.
