I wrote a comparison between account sharing and refilling your coca-cola drink at McDonalds. lifelog.be/account-sharin… What do you think? Should we just let it go? 4/4

we're going to hit 1M daily active users in the next few weeks the whole way here almost all the thought leaders kept explaining how what we were doing was wrong, bad taste, wouldn't work, etc none of them were curious enough to ask us what they got wrong

Been hermes maxxing for the last few days and it finally clicked. Once memory, tools, feedback, and continuity start working together, the whole thing starts feeling like a personal OS. @NousResearch @Teknium you deserve your flowers 🫡

@shannholmberg I think the architecture of multi-agent in hermes currently makes this hard. I've come around to the idea of just running a single-agent hermes install (k8s) for each agent. The UI/API/CLI on multi-agent setup is just confusing...

couldn´t resist visualizing the 4 levels of Hermes Agent set up there are multiple ways to achive each level for level 3 and 4, you can either use my agent control room to spin up isolated docker agents, or host all agents under one instance and leverage agent profiles with the multi-agent kanban that hermes supports natively you can also experiment with hermes as orchestrator and let it control claude / codex / kimi directly as sub agents I'm currently prototyping inside hermes, refining workflows and automations until they're solid enough to push to an isolated docker instance from there I can either keep it in a Hermes Agent harness or swap to other models depending on what the agent does this keeps your agent company dynamic and lets you shape it how you want, since different models are better at different things for example, I usually use claude for creative marketing work and GPT for infra / coding

4 levels of Hermes Agent setup: LEVEL 1: main agent You → Hermes Agent this is your main agent and your prototype area, where you test new workflows and refine them. it doubles as your orchestrator until you have something worth breaking out ---- LEVEL 2: specialized agents You → SEO Agent You → CMO Agent You → Ops Agent once a workflow is solid, break it out into its own agent with its own credentials, memory and scope. --- LEVEL 3: orchestrated team You → Orchestrator ↓ Specialist Agents bring the orchestrator back in. it now steers the company of agents you have built. ---- LEVEL 4: automated team Cron / Events → Orchestrator ↓ Agent Team add task lists so the team works async. cron and events fire jobs, the orchestrator routes them through the task bus, the team handles the work without you ---- take small steps, you DO NOT want to automate slop. if your output at level 1 is mediocre, you are about to scale mediocrity. 20 agents shipping low quality work at speed is worse than 3 shipping great work slowly. I would rather run fewer agents with better output than MAXXING the agent count and spitting out more of the same.

@SimonHoiberg do you use something like coolify or just go with your custom script (your kubernetes boilerplate?)

I just don't get people saying "self-hosting doesn't make sense pre-PMF" I go to Hetzner. Click "Rent" in the auction section. Run a script (sets up a kubernetes boilerplate). And I'm ready to build. Trivial and fast. Almost no time saved compared to signing in and setting up on Vercel/Supabase. But the time saved NOT having to migrate if my product takes off (cause you will wanna migrate if you start on Vercel/Supabase), is tremendous. Sorry but it's just kinda idiotic not just self-hosting from start.

I haven't used Cursor in a long time, but the new Composer 2 model just one-shot a frontend design from Next.js over to Astro 6 that GPT 5.4 butchered badly! Fast is good and fast and accurate is great. Will use this a lot more now

I found a good use case of using AI (and an LLM) in our Product! For a few weeks we've been trying to algorithmically determine the answer to a simple question. Is this domain (cnn.com, thefp.com, racket.news, nyt.com) a news outlet or not? We kept tuning the scoring, adding more data sources (SimilarWeb, Diffbot, scrape ourselves)... to solve what feels to me like a simple problem: is this a news outlet? Yes or no? Turns out that gpt4o (although I had to query it 3x) makes all our efforts obsolete. With this new information we can start extracting, suggesting and hinting media outlets throughout the contact database. #buildinpublic

hey @ahrefs your content explorer is 🔥. I find myself using the 'news' tab more and more. But according to the docs you pre-approve news domains. Is there any way we can check that list of pre-approved domains? Or any other source you use to identify news?

I laid off entire sales & marketing department of my enterprise SaaS a year ago. My goal was to fully automate their work with AI and switch into organic and inbound traffic. They didn’t believe it was possible and didn’t wanna make it happen. 12 months later we have more traffic, leads, contracts. I also reduced the support, design and dev team size (also AI) to improve margins. Total reduction in expenses was 70%. Today we’re by far the most effective company on the market (revenue per employee). We can drop the price now so low, that every competitor will go out of business. The market today eagerly seeks for cheaper solutions, because they were pushed to save more money. It turns out an entire industry may start looking for the cheaper solution. And none of the vendors may be capable of providing such price. The one that can give the same product at a half price at the right time might end up monopolizing entire industry because none of our competitors are doing such optimizations. People kept telling me: you can’t win enterprise market with AI. You need lots of human sales force doing sales calls, conferences, events. I’ve done almost no calls (only a quick demo call per lead). No conferences, no webinars, no paid ads, no events, no sponsorships. (We did a ton of it in the past). I’m over half way to prove them all wrong. P.S. about to close $300k/year contract that came inbound. — The moral of this post: look outside of mainstream saas (website builders; link in bio; analytics tools…). Look at the corporate software segment. Lots of disruption can be done there. Existing players are not capable of innovating this way; because the employees there don’t wanna lose their jobs.

Who in their right mind would pay some random person on the internet $100k for a no-follow link in the WSJ?

Does anyone really think that wirecutter reviews are unbiased? and not influenced by affiliate income? I mean look at this. It's well written. But are we supposed to believe that them missing out on affiliate income for returned purchases is the prime incentive for them to remain objective?

@JulianD_M @payloadcms @PlausibleHQ I can send you the code (to sync plausible and add the fields). Haven't extracted it to a plugin because there is too much domain specific knowledge (like which collections are pages, path generation, etc...)

@payloadcms @PlausibleHQ Every X hours content items in the CMS pull in some monthly statistics (using @PlausibleHQ API) and store that in a @payloadcms JSON field. Then I added a panel to every page entity in our CMS where there are quick links to GSC and Plausible together with some traffic numbers
