Distinct coding agent next to Hermes

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: I have Hermes running on a VPS and use it especially for coding.

Why you might care

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

Source excerpt

I have Hermes running on a VPS and use it especially for coding. Since Hermes is a generalist, I was wondering if it would make sense to have a distinct coding agent running on the VPS. And if yes, which one fits? But then the question is how would you communicate? - You use Hermes as the man-in-the-middle "Start Claude code and say to him to center the div…

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

Source excerpt

Hello guys, I have a repetitive issue with using Hermes agent via gateway (Telegram). I ask Hermes to do something for me, it gives back an incomplete and mess-formated answer. And I must respond with ‘incomplete answer’ or ‘what happened? Complete your answer?’ to get the rest of it. I hit this issue everyday mostly. I’m not using API, I’m using Codex 5.4…

Twitter is a goblin with binoculars, not the editorial board. V0 watches free sources first: RSS, Reddit, GitHub, HN, arXiv. Articles, research, opinionated field notes, and real user pain reports get top billing; releases are parked lower because staying current matters, but changelog spelunking is not a personality.
