The most popular Python project you've probably never heard of has 252,000 GitHub stars and merged over 1,800 pull requests in a single week. It's Hermes, a self-hosted AI agent you program just by talking to it. And it never clocks out. It runs 24/7 on a box in your house, wakes up every 15 minutes, keeps your YouTube channel in sync, and has your morning briefing ready before you're up. Mine started as a few config files. A few months later, it's 16,000 files of skills, memories, and tools it built for itself, all while I wasn't watching. Jeff Triplett joins me to explore this honestly weird but kind of amazing world. And yes, Hermes has a few words for you, too.
