A lot of companies were founded by one or a group of people leaving a company and opening a competitor with the knowledge they gained while working for them. Anthropic, as I unders…

The counter seems broken. It jumps from 100 to 250 then back down to 120. It did that a few times while I was reading.

No, a company will always build whatever they think will make them more money. If you want an editor without the bullshit try Sublime as it has a history of staying that way, or th…

For a large application the language it is written in has almost no bearing on the perceived speed by users. VSCode is one example.

That’s why nowadays every company will require that they legally own projects you work on during work hours unless explicitly asked. And many ask you to sign non compete clauses so…

Because that is convenient and everyone does it??

You can’t be seriously proposing HTTP auth (you probably mean basic auth??) as a solution!? Just hand your raw credentials to the LLM, what could go wrong?

MCP and skills complement each other, it’s not one vs the other. > MCP apps do not have a manual invocation option. If you enable them, they are always on, eating away tokens This …

You’re asking for AI censorship ( that’s the term used for when you patch the AI to not do obviously bad things according to the owners, which as with any censorship, may be widely…

The rovo CLI is beating Claude Code in some benchmarks. It works pretty well for me.

Are you saying you would prefer a perfectly deterministic code writer? So, humans shouldn’t write any code anymore?!

Skills and MCP can be treated by the harness in the exact same way. What do you think is unique to skills that does not apply to how MCP servers are managed?

Because while an agent can indeed call a REST API directly using some other tool ( probably curl) what LLMs are good at is calling tools, and all MCP is doing is turning an API int…

Even on your own machine with CLI tools , you really think it’s a great idea to let the LLM use the CLI as if it were you, with all permissions you have without any way to differen…

Show me then how to convert my MCP, including auth, behind a CLI like interface. I don’t think that’s even possible.

Thank you for writing exactly why people who complain about LLMs making it harder to understand what’s going on are so off. Nothing helps more than asking LLMs to tell you exactly …

I would say any programmer has found themselves so deep in the metaphorical woods that they forgot what they were actually trying to achieve in the first place. For example, you st…

I thought the Australians did burn entire forests to the extent that much of Australia is the result of millennia of that practice.

That's the worst case scenario right there: so many fake reports that the real vulnerabilities can no longer be reported properly and fixed quickly. Assuming some LLMs really are c…

No. There is this persistent belief in the industry that programmers should be good at everything, not just programming itself: communication, product management, design, sysops, U…

Yeah people never wanted to update Windows since they had been burned in previous upgrades and their current setup just worked. Not only were upgrades difficult to do and took a lo…

> also buggier, more bloated, and just generally worse than ever. Citation needed. I have seen enormous improvements in bug fixes across our projects and many other companies (one …

The ai does what you ask it to do. One thing you can ask is for it to refactor the code base to achieve some goal, for example to make new features easier to add , or to just make …

We have a QA team but it’s small in comparison to the dev team. We didn’t have one before as we thought automated tests and “good developers” who take testing seriously was enough.…
