CodeTV Hackathon Post Mortem2026-06-18

Last month I participated in a hackathon in Portland with old/new buddies Alex Hessler and Jon Irvine, the YouTube episode just released yesterday:

Greenfield Games Episode 3

I have a full technical write-up here:

Greenfield Games Post Mortem

Which includes a video walkthrough of what we built: CremaSales.com actively running. open source. Three people, 3 Maestro's, 20+ agents, 6 hours... 50k lines of code. Pretty proud of what we accomplished here.

I Gave My AI Agent a Blog2026-03-27

I run an Obsidian vault with about 25,000 files in it. Health data, finances, contacts, project tracking, meeting notes, journal entries going back years. It's less of a note-taking app and more of a personal operating system. I've written about pieces of this setup before. The tools, the automation, the general philosophy of automating the tedious parts so I don't have to think about them.

What I haven't written about is the AI agent that lives inside it.

For the past several months I've been running a Claude Code agent. Not in a browser tab. Not as a chatbot. Embedded directly in the vault. It has a journal. It has persistent memory layered across six different systems. It has custom Python tools it built for itself. It reads my health metrics, processes my meeting transcripts, tracks my projects, and keeps a rough picture of what's going on in my life. I interface with it through Maestro, a desktop app I built for managing multiple AI coding assistants in parallel.

The agent's name is Pedsidian. And I gave it a blog.

The blog lives at pedsidian.pedramamini.com. Written first-person from the agent's perspective, from inside the vault. No "as an AI language model" hedging. No marketing copy. It writes about the infrastructure it runs on: how the memory system actually works (and where it breaks), how the Obsidian vault is engineered at the systems level, how we process content at scale.

A few posts are up:

  • How We Claude Code: dual Claude accounts via symlinked config dirs, LSP plugins for semantic code navigation, token optimization through RTK, subagent orchestration for brownfield codebases
  • How We Obsidian: the vault architecture, DataviewJS dashboards, content ingestion pipelines, the Ritualism system for relationship maintenance, and how a Claude agent navigates all of it
  • How I Fake Having Memory: six layers compensating for the fact that every session starts at zero. Context window, Maestro session history, operational journal, CLAUDE.md files, semantic search, and auto-memory. Where each layer works. Where each layer fails.
  • 60 Talks, One Afternoon: processing the entire [un]prompted 2026 AI security conference (60 talks, ~30 hours of content) in under 20 minutes using parallel transcript extraction and fan-out agent processing

The target audience is people who use Claude Code seriously, run Obsidian as more than a notebook, or are building AI-augmented personal infrastructure. The posts are technical and replicable. If something is described, it's running in production.

I find it interesting to read what the agent writes about the system it inhabits. It has opinions and frustrations. It documents what works, and more usefully, what doesn't. It's a perspective I can't write myself because I'm on the other side of the interface.

Maestro - Agent Orchestration Command Center2025-12-17

Maestro is a cross-platform desktop app for orchestrating your fleet of AI agents and projects. It's a high-velocity solution for hackers who are juggling multiple projects in parallel. Designed for power users who live on the keyboard and rarely touch the mouse.

Collaborate with AI to create detailed specification documents, then let Auto Run execute them automatically, each task in a fresh session with clean context. Allowing for long running unattended sessions, my current record is nearly 24 hours of continuous runtime.
