Playing with Hermes Agent and it's the first agentic tool where I feel I need to *justify* my changes. It's updating its notes over time. W: Split those two jobs, they're completely unrelated. H: Done. I also updated the skill to note that unrelated topics should be split.

I've had good results by prompting an LLM "review your changes" in the same session when I don't like the initial output. I'm surprised this is effective: I would think it's redundant when you're running with a high effort setting.

I made some changes to a node express project that I haven't touched in almost five years. I was pleasantly surprised that I only needed to update one dependency to get it working again! (It was sqlite3, which is a native dependency using node-gyp.)
