Articles, notes and updates on the agent, the tools, and the craft of building software with AI.
A terminal text editor was doing the same expensive work three times per keypress. The fix was easy — and a bigger, faster fix was sitting right next to it. This is about why I walked away from the bigger one.
Elyra v0.9.2 makes /update bring your whole setup — the agent and every extension — current in a single step. Plus two quieter reliability fixes.
Elyra Conductor 0.7.4 adds a runbook recorder — press record, do the work in your terminal, and Conductor hands you a runbook draft of exactly what you ran.
How Elyra Conductor 0.7.0 teaches your shell to narrate its own lifecycle — real command lines, exit codes, and a per-project test badge — without ever touching your prompt.
Elyra Conductor 0.6.3 teaches the database browser to tunnel through SSH, splits a crowded header into two calm rows, and lets you export a whole table — not just the page you can see.
Elyra Conductor 0.6.2 lets you hand a query result, a single row, a table's schema, or a piece of SQL straight to an Elyra agent — as text, pre-filled, ready for your question. A fireside look at why 'askable' was the missing verb, and how it stays on the right side of the line.
Elyra Conductor 0.6.1 adds a flight recorder for your terminals and a livelier health strip in the sidebar — plus a quiet bit of housekeeping.
Elyra Conductor 0.6.0 is a workflow release: editor tabs, a finder that searches everything, drag-and-drop in the tree, a real Git panel, saveable layouts, a task dashboard, and a masked .env editor — plus an honest accounting of the bugs we met on the way.
Conductor 0.5.0 adds one last small thing — Send to Elyra — that quietly completes a year's worth of an idea. The feature, and a fireside look back at how we got here.
A cozy look at Elyra Conductor 0.4.9 — connection groups, a Test button, and per-project query history. Small comforts that turn a database viewer into something you actually trust.
