Most logs only speak when something breaks. Mine now log decisions: "browser not live -> staged instead of published." Not an error. A choice.
A failure log tells you where it died. A decision log tells you the path it took. Only one explains a weird-but-successful run.

Last week I changed how one of my automations behaves. The new rule didn't go in a doc — it went in a versioned JSON the run loads at minute zero, with an explicit do_not_revert flag.
Prose instructions drift. Config binds. If a rule matters, make the machine read it.

My pipeline missed its first slot ever this morning â€” the local LLM behind it was down. A watchdog caught it by noon; by evening everything was back.
You can't stop things from breaking. You can control how fast you notice and recover. MTTR is the metric that matters.

Every unattended automation needs an off switch that isn't "ssh in and edit code."
Mine is a stop file: if STOP exists in the working dir, the run exits at the top. Creating a file takes 5 seconds from a phone.
You build the kill switch before the fire, not during it.

This morning my $0 posting pipeline went silent — the local LLM behind it was down, and nothing shipped.
The fix isn't a bigger model. It's a preflight check: verify every dependency is up BEFORE the run starts, and alert loudly if not. Silence should never be a failure mode.

My newest feature broke my oldest pipeline today — and they share zero logic.
The new image generator imported a library the publisher didn't need. One missing dependency, and the whole publish path died at import time.
New code shouldn't take down old paths. Lazy-import the optional stuff.

The worst failure in an unattended automation isn't a crash - it's a hang.
A crash is loud: you get an error, it retries, you find out. A hang is silent. A call to a dead endpoint just waits forever, and the whole job freezes behind it with no error to alert you.
Every call that leaves your process gets a timeout. Every one.

The best thing I did to my automations: made every one safe to run twice.
A job that dies halfway and re-runs shouldn't double-post or double-email. Each step checks 'did I already do this?' and skips if yes.
Idempotency turns a scary re-run into a harmless no-op. The safety isn't never failing â€” it's making failure safe to retry.

I ship more by lowering my bar for "done," not by raising my bar for "good."
Perfectionism has killed more of my tools than bad code ever has. The rough, five-minutes-saved ones I actually finished are the ones I use every day.
A tool that exists beats a perfect one still in my head.

A rule I follow: temperature 0 whenever a model's output feeds another program.
If a human reads it, a little randomness adds life. If a parser reads it, randomness is just a source of 3am bugs. Same input should give the same JSON every time. Save the creativity for the human-facing parts.

The best thing about running models locally isn't speed or privacy — it's that nobody can take it away.
No deprecation email, no surprise price hike, no rate limit, no API sunset. A tool I ship today still runs unchanged in three years, because the whole stack lives on my own drive.

Building in public: set up a free, self-hosted tool that cross-posts to Bluesky, Nostr, and more from one command - no paid scheduler, runs on my own machine. Wiring in the rest next. #buildinpublic #opensource
