I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1573 - I'm Finally Getting into Coding, but in a Completely Different Way than Expected! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, November 8, 2026

2 hours ago

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 8 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've mentioned many times that I've been wanting to get into coding and programming for quite a long while now, and that I hadn't done so yet for a few reasons, timing being my main issue, with me already spending a lot of time sitting in front of a screen as it is. It would take time to learn each relevant coding language, and much more time to come to a place of being able to write actually good code. The work that I've been doing since spring with Hermes Agent, a truly incredible agentic-AI framework, has pretty much tossed that assumption on its head.

AI and AI agents are completely changing the whole coding/programming landscape, and that is only accelerating. Even the most skilled programmers are beginning to use agentic AI for various coding tasks, because it dramatically speeds up their development process. Now, however, people don't even need to have any proficiency in any particular coding languages to begin building and developing software (though that is also still a very good idea). That's extraordinary.

For a system builder and weaver like me, who does not yet know any programming languages, working with Hermes, and especially in an agentic-AI-integrated operating system like Omarchy Linux, has been an absolute game changer. This kind of development is basically programming-language agnostic, which is brilliant, because Hermes (using capable models) can use any that are appropriate for the task at hand.

I still intend to learn at least a few of the most significant coding languages for the frameworks with which I work, but I'm not going to let not knowing them yet hold me back. While there are basically unlimited avenues for possible development adventures, I feel most strongly called to help contribute to, build, and develop the two primary software frameworks in which I passionately operate, Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux, of course.

One notable reason why both Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux have such incredibly passionate and excited communities is because community contributions (very much including agentic-AI contributions), are not only accepted, but are actively and enthusiastically welcomed. This gives people the power to directly build the very frameworks that they use, and at a mind-bogglingly rapid pace, which only grows the community passion and momentum even more for what's being created. It's quite breathtaking to behold, I must say, and I'm very grateful to now be a part of it.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up a few of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by about 3:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With that completed, I made a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, then I went to weed and clear around the small lemon tree in front of Power Sharing, which had become completely covered with rapidly-growing vegetation. With that done, I got my machete and I did some trail clearing, which unexpectedly turned into me diving into clearing the Jamaican lirikoi/passionflower/passionfruit off the several bamboo culms which had fallen onto the Peanut Lawn during the last heavy rain storm. When I finally wrapped that up, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, and with those in hands I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work another round with Hermes. I got through all of my notifications by around 9:30PM, and after a bit more work with Hermes, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up by a little after 8AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, and talking with Avi and Michael for a bit while I was there, then returning to the Flow House, to prepare my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update to write later, to begin writing this post, and to work some more with Hermes. It's now just after 2PM, so it's a wonderful time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update as soon as I'm able to do it, and the next manifestation of these posts tomorrow afternoon! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!

Join my Satsman Army! Satsman is by far the best, most engaging, fun, inspiring, and motivating, educational, and profitable way to earn Bitcoin/BTC that I've ever seen! You will not regret it!
