Claude Code is not autocomplete with better marketing. It is an agentic coding tool: it reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools.

Hermes Agent is a self-hosted, model-agnostic AI assistant that runs on a local machine or low-cost VPS, works through terminal and messaging interfaces, and improves over time by turning repeated tasks into reusable skills.

Text Generation Inference (TGI) has a very specific energy. It is not the newest kid in the inference street, but it is the one that already learned how production breaks -

Here I am comparing speed of several LLMs running on GPU with 16GB of VRAM, and choosing the best one for self-hosting.

Australia has RTX 5090 stock. Barely. And if you find one, you will pay a premium that feels detached from reality.

Ollama is at its happiest when it is treated like a local daemon: the CLI and your apps talk to a loopback HTTP API, and the rest of the network never finds out it exists.

Logs are a debugging interface you can still use when the system is on fire. The problem is that plain text logs age poorly: as soon as you need filtering, aggregation, and alerting, you start parsing sentences.

Ollama works great on bare metal. It gets even more interesting when you treat it like a service: a stable endpoint, pinned versions, persistent storage, and a GPU that is either available or it is not.

Running Ollama behind a reverse proxy is the simplest way to get HTTPS, optional access control, and predictable streaming behaviour.

If you are working through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), this section walks through text embeddings in plain terms — what they are, how they fit search and retrieval, and how to call two common local setups from Python using Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible HTTP API (as many llama.cpp-based servers expose).

Netlify is one of the most developer-friendly ways to ship Hugo sites and modern web apps with a production-grade workflow: preview URLs for every pull request, atomic deploys, a global CDN, and optional serverless and edge capabilities.

Apache Flink is a framework for stateful computations over unbounded and bounded data streams.

Neo4j is what you reach for when the relationships are the data. If your domain looks like a whiteboard of circles and arrows, forcing it into tables is painful.

Static sites and blogs change whenever you deploy. Search engines that support IndexNow can learn about those changes without waiting for the next blind crawl.

Putting email on your own domain sounds like a weekend DNS task. In practice it is a small distributed system with a twenty-year legacy.

SGLang is a high-performance serving framework for large language models and multimodal models, built to deliver low-latency and high-throughput inference across everything from a single GPU to distributed clusters.
