When should a Hermes coding session be restarted?
A Reddit user says they connected their Hermes agent to the mem0 memory system. They still feel the model gets less smart after compactions. They ask how many compactions others allow before ending the session and starting a new one while programming.
Key points
- The user is using Hermes agent with the mem0 memory system.
- They believe the model becomes weaker after compactions.
- They ask when others stop a coding session and restart.
- A practical tip is to watch for quality drops during long programming sessions.
- External memory does not remove the need for session management.
