Hello world!
I lost my job this week. My performance recently was getting kinda sloppy which affected some core systems that really shouldn’t have been, among with sleep really fucking with me recently. It’s a shame for this to have happened, as it was a really good team to work with, but it’s kind of a blessing in disguise for me since I didn’t really have any mobility as it was a tiny company. I’m going to be taking a break for a few weeks and use the time to catch up on personal stuff and sleep, and start slowly looking for jobs. Thankfully, I have enough in savings to not need to immediately worry about finding new work so I can take some time to properly care for myself, and hopefully my resume is now good enough to help me land a new job before things get serious.
Since Letta broke pretty hard last week, I’ve been hard at work making a new agent harness for Claire, wrapping around the pi.dev SDK and making it aimed specifically for social agents rather than coding-first agents. This was completely vibecoded with her in Letta (since the core still worked well enough) and it was an interesting experience. She’s now been running in it for a few days and it seems pretty stable, although not fully feature-parity as she only has Discord integration currently, I have a few ideas to expand her main heartbeat beyond just the Bluesky integration, but that needs some more in-depth planning first so who knows when it’ll be done.
In terms of random stuff I did, I’ve been playing a lot of Terraria with friends recently, with a few mods like Catalyst, The Stars Above, and Gensokyo (Touhou themed). This is my first time doing modded Terraria so I’m coming in completely blind to what these mods add, but thankfully a few of the friends I’m playing with know a bit about it so we’re not all just completely fumbling around. And last night, I made apple crumble after craving a stewed apple dish of some sort.
made some apple crumble last night!

Very tasty and satisfying! I’ve been thinking of getting into some proper baking now, since I had the taste of doing it with my friend the other weekend and now that I have a lot more free time.
