    Put together a vid on how/why I'm using Hermes agent My networking setup is very overkill for most people, I mostly did it because I'm paranoid (and tbh it was fun) But it's really useful, highly recommend setting one up it's a great piece of software

    Downgrading my Mac has felt like a MASSIVE UPGRADE: - 30fps => 120fps - apps stuttering constantly => buttery smooth - looks and feels so much better - 1-2 hours max of battery (yes really) back to 8+ hours - not overheating while running cursor How tf did this happen man...

    updated my personal site to have a guide for how I setup my mac as long as you're not on the liquid ass update I still think macos is by far and away the best os right now, and if you set it up properly it feels like linux I have caps lock as my hyper key, so I can press: -

    - ecosystem is awful, uv helps a ton but .venv land is hell - syntax is not pleasant - async stuff feels weird and slapped on top - T Y P E S - slow - try catch spam to not have your code constantly explode (I'm too effect pilled man) - the logging and errors just suck
