Alright, so I wanted to share what I’ve been up to with this thing I call agent00. It’s just a name I gave it, nothing official. I got curious about tracking its progress over time, kind of like watching it ‘age’, you know? Seeing if it actually gets better or just changes in weird ways.
First off, I had to actually get agent00 set up properly. Took a bit of messing around just to have it run without falling over immediately. Needed a solid starting point. Then I had to figure out, how do I even track this ‘age’ or performance? I decided to keep it simple. I looked at:

- How quick it finished its tasks.
- How many mistakes it made along the way.
Just basic stuff. I wrote down the first numbers I got, just to have something to compare against later on.
Then came the actual doing part. I just let agent00 run. Fed it some tasks, let it do its processing. Day in, day out. I made sure to keep logging those metrics I picked. Initially, I was checking the logs constantly, maybe too much. After a while, I settled into just checking things once a day. Less stressful that way. I wasn’t using anything fancy for logging, mostly just cobbled-together scripts dumping data into text files. Good enough for what I needed.
Watching the results was pretty interesting, actually. For the first week or so, agent00 definitely improved. It got faster, made fewer silly errors. I was pretty pleased, thought it was really learning. But then things started getting a bit strange. After maybe three weeks, the performance started to wobble. It didn’t crash or anything, but it got slower. Sometimes it made decisions that just seemed… off. Not exactly dumber, but maybe more rigid? Or maybe it just got overwhelmed? Still not totally sure.
The main headache was honestly just ensuring the whole setup kept running smoothly. There were a couple of times the machine it ran on decided it needed a restart, which obviously messed up my tracking for that day. And trying to figure out why the performance dipped later on… yeah, still working on that one. Maybe the data I was feeding it changed, maybe it hit some internal limit I didn’t anticipate. Who knows.
So, yeah. Tracking agent00‘s ‘age’ showed me it’s not just a simple path upwards. It got better, then it kind of leveled off, and then it started showing some quirks. It felt like watching something develop, but not always predictably. This whole exercise hammered home that tracking isn’t just about seeing numbers improve; it’s about spotting the weird patterns and trying to understand them. Still need to figure out that slowdown issue. It’s definitely something I’m still looking into.
