Post-Mortem: Building a Local MCP Server for Codebase Memory using Ollama and ChromaDB

Developers are pushing back against cloud API billing and the privacy risks of sending proprietary codebases to third-party endpoints. A Hacker News thread from this year put it plainly: the problem isn't the price per token, it's the unpredictability of usage-based billing when AI agents are continuously polling APIs. On Reddit, the privacy concern is starker -- for enterprise and defense work, sending company IP to OpenAI or Anthropic is a hard no regardless of cost. zerikai_memory has a local

Three AI Agents That Actually Write Code for You (and How to Use Them)

I got tired of copy-pasting snippets from ChatGPT If you're still bouncing between your editor and a chat window, asking an LLM for code and then manually wiring it into your project, you're doing it the hard way. In 2026, AI agents have matured into tools that read your entire codebase, propose multi-file changes, and execute commands on your behalf. They don't just autocomplete—they plan, edit, test, and iterate. I've been testing three agents that plug directly into real workflows: GitHub C
