I built a similar Ruby based agent development kit that has a different focus and feature set: https://github.com/tweibley/legate

I did it to learn about rlms. But also I've tested it a bit with some openclaw style bots and it works well.

Multiple things recently: https://github.com/tweibley/rubyrlm - MVP Ruby implementation of Recursive Language Models (RLMs) that uses Gemini as the model backend and a Ruby REPL fo…

(I run our Ops team.) The time burden goes down with the more people we have. It's still a burden though -- and our compensation (in theory) reflects that. FWIW We're doing everyth…

Thanks for your feed back. It's understandable that this might be too much for some people. To date, we've had a single person skip those questions and still submit. This person wa…

We write out the cluster config and update the script using Chef. In an emergency situation, chef-client is a wee bit slow ;) Also we like having the script standalone so there's j…

The BMC is horrible. It needs a cold reset frequently, and it often doesn't work at all when access from a non Windows machine. Otherwise they work really well. I like that the sle…

(I'm the author of the post). These aren't blades and I dislike blades for the hardware/vendor lockin reasons you mentioned. Blades usually share power, network, etc. These only sh…
