One month with Hermes: don't build the whole machine on day one
Hermes works impressively well out of the box. The real challenge starts after that first 'wow' moment, because Hermes is powerful enough to make you overestimate how ready you are to use it properly. Start with one small workflow. Make it boringly reliable. Then add the next piece. Don't turn the default profile into a giant backpack full of every skill, every tool, every instruction.
