From Scratch: How to Integrate Reasonix CLI into the HagiCode System This article shares the complete technical practice of integrating Reasonix CLI as a first-class Agent Provider into the HagiCode system, covering three-layer architecture design, key technical decisions, and frontend and backend implementation details. Background Reasonix CLI, as it happens, is a pretty interesting thing. It's an AI code assistant tool based on ACP (Agent Communication Protocol), providing powerful streaming and session management capabilities. Actually, in the HagiCode.Libs layer, we've already completed its underlying implementation. It's just that these components are still in an isolated state, like beautiful pearls that haven't been strung into a necklace. Users cannot use it through Hero profession selection, session execution paths, or monitoring panels, which is somewhat regrettable. The problem we face is: how to elevate Reasonix to the same level as Codex, Hermes, and other first-class Agent Providers, implementing complete backend routing and frontend display? This isn't simply a matter of registering an enum value. It requires building a complete chain from low-level abstraction to user interface. It's like building a house—you can't just lay a foundation and call it done. You have to build the walls and put up the roof. The challenge of this integration lies in the fact that Reasonix, as a local CLI tool, has its own personality and temperament. For example, it doesn't need a connection string—all parameters are configured by the user at runtime; it might not even be installed, requiring graceful degradation; it's compatible with anthropic series models, but also has its own ACP-specific parameters like effort, budget, and so on. It's like a person with their own unique way of handling things—you can't force it. After careful architectural design and multiple rounds of discussion, we finally adopted a clear three-layer architecture solution, successfully integrating R
I said "maybe a couple days" on a call last Tuesday. By Wednesday morning it was in a Jira ticket as "2 days." By Thursday afternoon somebody was checking in to see if we were tracking against the two day commitment. Nobody did anything wrong. The person who wrote it down was capturing what I said. The person checking in was doing their job. I was the one who said the words. The system worked exactly as designed. The system is the problem. Something Ive learned is that theres no such thing as a rough number in meetings today with all of the AI note takers... The moment you say a number out loud, it stops being a feeling and starts being a quote. The hedge in front of it doesnt survive the transcription. "Maybe" disappears. "Couple" gets rounded to a specific integer. "Give or take" is the first thing that hits the cutting room floor. What lands in the document is the number, naked, with no caveats and no error bars. Everyone in the meeting heard what you heard. They heard the hedge. They watched you wave your hands. They understood, in the moment, that you werent committing. But the document doesnt remember any of that. The document just remembers the number. And the document outlives the conversation, which is where all the nuance lived. Ive watched myself do this for years and I still get caught by it. Someone asks how long something will take. I want to be helpful. I want to seem confident. I want to keep the meeting moving. So I say a number. The number is approximately right, or at least I think it is, but I havent actually thought about it the way you would think about it if you were going to commit to it. By saying it out loud, Ive committed to it. The fix, if theres one, is to refuse the number. Not rudely. Just clearly. "I need to look at it before I give you a real number. I can have one for you by Friday." This works about half the time. The other half, somebody in the room is going to ask you for a ballpark anyway, and youre going to give them one, and t
InfoQ celebrates its 20th anniversary. To mark the occasion, we have published a walk-through of the trends InfoQ called early, where they sit on the adoption curve today, and how that curve may evolve over the next decade. By InfoQ
Today, June 8th, InfoQ celebrates 20 years. This is not a comprehensive history, but a deliberately selective look at the technologies and practices InfoQ identified early, where they sit on the adoption curve in 2026, and how that curve may evolve over the next five to ten years. By InfoQ
“A self-indulgent weekend divergence from the usual Vektor memory business content. Consider what happens when you give a developer two days off, unlimited internet archive access, and too many ideas crammed into one article." Writing this article began organically. Which is a funny thing to even have to say in 2026. What does organic even mean now? I don't care, man; I just want to be free to express myself, man. I did not write this on a mechanical typewriter. I wrote it on a PC with my stubby index fingers running Windows software that, miraculously, does not blue screen every ten minutes anymore. It only took Microsoft thirty years to pull that off. To the left sits an analog record player with some secondhand Yamaha bookshelf speakers I found at a charity shop; to the right of me sits a modern dark wood-paneled Zen PC case, a processor that would have occupied an entire room thirty years ago, and a GPU that can synthesize gargantuan piles of AI slop or brilliant code in roughly ten seconds flat. And yet, for all that raw power, it still comes down to an algorithm. It always has. The Sharper Image and the Death of Wonder When I was a kid I used to walk into The Sharper Image store at Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston and just stand there. Looking at technology I could not afford while the staff watched me carefully to make sure I did not break anything. I also grabbed some bright coloured rock salt candy; I loved stuff, some core memories right there. That feeling of picking up a piece of technology and not quite knowing what it did, like a ten-year-old ape holding something from another civilisation, you cannot replicate that in a sterile Apple store. The technology is better now. Genuinely better. Faster, smaller, more capable than anything those shelves held. But the sense of wonder at the unknowable object is completely gone. Everything is explained before you touch it. Every product has a thirty-second video, a Reddit thread, a YouTube teardown, a comparis
A scraper can pass every check you wrote and still be wrong about the one thing you actually care about: how much it collected. No exception. No 500. No broken row. Exit code 0, logs green, every field valid. And the set on disk is a quarter of what the site actually has. I have run scrapers in production enough times to stop trusting a green run on its own, and this is the failure that taught me to count. TL;DR A paginated source can serve fewer rows than it claims and never throw — page caps, hidden offset limits, infinite scroll that "ends" early. Your status check (200), schema check (valid row), and byte check (you got data) all pass. None of them counts records. The tell: declared total vs unique ids collected. Or, when there's no declared total, the page that quietly repeats an earlier page. Below is a 40-line probe you can run right now. On a source that caps at 1,500 of a declared 4,000, it returned VERDICT: INCOMPLETE (missing 2500 rows) . This is a completeness check, not a correctness check. Different layer, different bug. What actually goes wrong You write the loop everyone writes. Walk ?page=1 , ?page=2 , keep going until a page comes back empty. Stop. Save. Done. The source has other plans. It says it has 4,000 records — the count is right there in the envelope, or in a "Showing 4,000 results" line in the HTML. But it only ever hands out real data for the first 30 pages. Page 31 doesn't error. It doesn't return empty either. It returns page 1 again. Still HTTP 200. Still 50 valid rows. Your loop has no reason to stop, so it grinds on until its own page budget runs out, collects a pile of rows, and exits clean. You now have 5,000 rows in hand and feel great about it. Looks like plenty. The catch: only 1,500 are unique. The page cap fed you the same first page over and over, and those duplicates hid the shortfall behind a big-looking row count. That is the exact shape of "50 rows passed every check while 4,000 existed" — the scraper saw a lot of rows an
We’re a tiny team of 2–9 engineers who believe business messaging should be simple, reliable, and accessible to everyone. Today we’re officially opening up BulkSMSOnline to the Dev.to community, and we’d love your feedback. What’s BulkSMSOnline? A global bulk SMS platform that lets you send campaigns, alerts, OTPs, and notifications via: A clean web portal A REST API An HTTP API It’s designed for developers who want reliable global delivery without fighting arcane telecom protocols or opaque pricing. Why We Built It We noticed a pattern: most SMS platforms either overcomplicate things with bloated SDKs or hide behind enterprise gatekeepers that don’t listen. We wanted something different a lean, transparent API backed by real people who actually care about your deliverability. So we built BulkSMSOnline around three principles: Reliability : Messages must arrive, every time. Radical simplicity : A clean API you can integrate in minutes. Transparency : Honest pricing, clear limits, no surprises. Quick Start: Send an SMS in Under 5 Minutes Here’s how simple it is with our REST API. For full docs, check out our developer portal . curl -X POST https://api.bulksmsonline.com/v1/sms \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "to": "+1234567890", "message": "Hello from BulkSMSOnline!", "sender": "MyApp" }' You’ll get a JSON response with a message ID and status. That’s it. No multi-page setup or carrier negotiations. What else can you do? Send bulk messages with a single API call Track delivery in real time via webhooks Pull reports programmatically Use our HTTP API for legacy systems Who’s Behind This? We’re a small, agile team (2–9 people). That means: No bureaucracy: Fixes and features ship fast. Direct access: When you email support, you reach the engineers who built the platform. Your feedback shapes our roadmap: Many of our recent features came from developer conversations. Tech stack we love: Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, an
