SDLC for my homelab is changing

Two articles landed in my queue the same week: Microsoft's New Agentic Software Delivery Primitives and Anthropic's Solving Code Review at Anthropic . Different companies, different scale, same underlying claim: the software delivery lifecycle hasn't changed shape, but where a human's attention goes inside it has moved almost entirely. I read both back to back and realized I wasn't reading about the future. I was reading a description of my Tuesday night. I run a home lab on Paperclip , tl;dr: its an agent farm with project management built in, and it's completely open source. I'm the human in the loop, and I have no other humans on staff (the kids do share ideas tho), then it's just a roster of agents (with different skills and harnesses) that pick up issues, check them out, break down big tasks, write code, open PRs, and escalate when they're stuck.

I just couldn't get up. Ended up sleeping in to 5:30a. Felt amazing! Then I felt bad I didn't lift but really I needed the rest. It is my first miss. I think I just stayed up a bit too much celebrating freedom ('merica). The runs went really well but I could tell that I really needed new shoes. I went on 2 trail runs during the week (new construction in my area that isn't paved yet). The runs help me think about things. It really is my meditation time. I really feel so much better on days that I run. Lifting is very enjoyable as well. I found a great training program (thanks Cassi!) based on my 1 rep max ...
