    You are unfortunately right. I am a bit relieved because it seem generics don't seem that over-used in the community. But still, the language lost a lot with this change that felt …

    That's funny because that's factually untrue. Go's early popularity and professional adoption were largely driven by its perceived productivity boost linked in part to the small su…

    That's actually very popular with pretty much anyone who's dealt with errors happening in programs... which I would assume is most devs after some time.

    Right. On a related note: "MCP is invisible to the LLM, or should be, under normal use". I am not convinced there are any downsides for the harness to explicitly feed MCP keywords …

    Not sure I understand what you mean. MCP servers and methods available do have to be visible to the model in some way so that it can spit out tool calls instructions to be executed…

    While that is true, the overarching point is that it fundamentally still is, just a story. You're just describing real world consequences, precisely because humans/societies believ…

    What credentials related to software engineering? Please expand and do not post nebulous comments like these.

    This specifically is super annoying.

    Restrictions don’t have to be confusing, they can be clear. You are missing the whole point.

    I don’t know if you’re being serious but that’s laughable

    How is that specific to antigravity? Seem like it could happen with a bunch of tools

    Comment #46041453

    That’s exactly what it is in essence. The MCP protocol simply doesn’t have any mechanism specifications (yet) for not loading tools completely in the context. There’s nothing reall…

    The MCP standard will and has to evolve to address this context issue. It’s a no brainer and this is a perfect example of the direction mcp is going / will go. There’s fundamentall…

    In also interested in n8n. From what I gathered it’s a everything baked in app, not a lib. Meaning that unless you re doing upstream contributions you don’t actually code anything.…

    Concurrency. Unless you’re happy stopping the world on llm io… Go excels at handling network calls and the like. It’s basically what agents are.

    Claude Skills just seem to be the same as MCP prompts: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/ser... I don't really see why they had to create a different concept…

    I'm super confused as well. This seems like exactly that, just some default prompt injections to chose from. I guess I kinda understand them in the context of their claude chat UI …

    I never understand why there's always one of the top comment on every Go post being derogatory and mentioning Rust. It never fails. It starts to feel like a weird mix of defensiven…

    No one think any form of "prompt engineering" "guardrails" are serious security measures right?

    Assuming you're using GitHub or similar, make pushing branches and creating PRs part of their prompts, and review on the GitHub app or equivalent? Seem like an orthogonal problem t…
