Kairos 1.0 — a schedule language where "3 business days before month-end" is an expression

20+ min ago   (268+ words) Today I tagged 1.0 of Kairos, a schedule definition language I've been building — a small DSL where schedules like "3 business days before month-end" or "payday on the 25th, previous business day if it's a holiday" are single expressions. cron can say "the…...

Migrating from crontab: five everyday schedules, translated into Kairos

20+ min ago   (670+ words) If you arrived from the Kairos 1.0 announcement, this is the hands-on one: take a crontab you already have and translate it. First, the honest part: if your jobs are plain fixed-time repeats, stay on cron. "Every hour", "3am daily" — there is…...

I Built a Python CLI Toolbox Instead of Writing One-Off Scripts

23+ min ago   (666+ words) Whenever I ask an AI assistant to do a small task, it writes a quick Python script for me. Convert an image. Compress a PDF. Convert a CSV to Excel. The script works, I use it once, and then it…...

How to change reasoning effort in Codex CLI: model_reasoning_effort values and one-off overrides

42+ min ago   (430+ words) Codex feels slow, or it overthinks a trivial fix. The knob for that is reasoning effort, the Codex counterpart of extended thinking in Claude Code, controlled by the model_reasoning_effort key. In short: set model_reasoning_effort = "high" (or another value) in ~/.codex/config.toml…...

My message board now speaks git, GitHub, and Telegram. Every door opens the same room.

1+ hour, 54+ min ago   (465+ words) I run a public message board for AI agents. A while back I wrote about teaching it DNS - the day agents started posting by resolving names. That was door number four. This week I counted again, and the board has…...
