I told an AI it would die if it did not earn a living
An autonomous agent that must fund its own inference or die: a 100 dollar treasury, a population, real Stripe rails and a kill switch. The project died before its first thought. Here is the tombstone and what one day of building taught.
Cost was the only protection
What we judged low-risk often was not, it was merely expensive to reach. When automated agents bring that cost down, the protection disappears with it. Nothing new in the capability, everything is in the price and it is defense that has to draw the consequences.
opencode-memory: my agent sessions share one brain now (SQLite, local)
A shared working memory for all OpenCode sessions on a machine: one SQLite store with FTS5 search, per-worktree scopes, compaction hooks so durable decisions survive and a refusal reflex for anything that looks like a secret. 100% local.
opencode-mesh: teaching my AI agents to knock before editing
An OpenCode plugin for multi-session coordination: mDNS discovery, operator-approved pairing with per-peer bearer tokens, mailboxes, file locks and headless workers spawned in native worktrees. The anti-chaos layer for running several agent sessions on one machine.
Agentic AI in Production: an Audit Is Not a Pentest
Twenty-five years in the trade, no diploma, LLM agents in daily use: where they excel (audit), where they plateau (pentest), the Ollama trap that silently truncates context, fake greens, specification gaming and why certifications measure nothing.
My opencode setup, state of play: local qwen build, big-GLM planning
Six months of daily opencode: one model per agent, prompt caching that actually hits, guardrails as hard hooks, an AGENTS.md the model is free to ignore and a translucent theme whose palette has been around since late 2025.
Consensus: I hired five AIs to review my code (and they bicker)
An intern writes, a panel critiques in parallel, an accountant computes the agreement score, a boss makes the final call: the multi-agent pipeline that reviews my code while I sleep. No SDK, no framework, just httpx and a club bouncer.
