For an MCP used to look up data in any kind of dataset, just having a single tool that accepts an OData Query string has worked well for me.

Preferably, it would ask for help to see the image and only engineer its own workaround if that was not an option. There could also very well be something in the prompt that would …

As a dev with three decades experience writing code, I use it for stuff I know all about all the time. And these days, the majority of the time it is more correct than I would've b…

The correct thing to do in this scenario is to create a new random login alias on your Microsoft account, make it the primary login alias, and disable login for the all other e-mai…

I'm skeptical of letting agents run free like this. Even Opus makes decisions I don't always agree with. And I quickly lose my mental model of how the code is evolving. I get more …

China has cheap coal powered electricity and leaders that make things happen. Europe has beaureaucrats that only love talking, high taxes and expensive energy.

Same here. Step 1 is usually a research doc where I simply describe the task and tell it to research the relevant parts of the codebase. This gets refined to a high-level plan, whi…

My agentic workflow probably differs somewhat from the majority of others here, but I can positively guarantee you that both the quality and quantity of my output is significantly …

I'm with you all the way here. I derive zero pleasure from simply typing out the code once the spec is clear. Having a fast forward button to skip that phase is a pure win in my bo…

I'd call that irresponsible use. One of the principles I try to stick by is to never offload any major decisionmaking to the LLM without oversight. Because some percentage of the d…

Not what I do. I'll reformulate the ticket description so that the purpose and as many details as possible about the solution are made clear from the start. Then I tell Opus to go …

Just out of curiosity, what type of systems are you working on? What type of features did you implement on your 100k LOC week?

There are many ways to use an LLM to generate a piece of software. I base most of my projects these days around sets of Markdown files where I use AI first to research, then plan a…

Anyone test it out for generating 2D art for games? Getting nano banana to generate consistent sprite sheets was seemingly impossible last time i tried a few months ago.

Debugging and local testing is the main remaining use case of IDEs. Especially so for mobile apps where you need to manage one or more emulators.

At some point I think I'd prefer to deploy my own model in Azure or AWS and simply bring the endpoint to the coding harness.

Your view of what is happening in the neural net of an LLM is too simplistic. They likely aren't subject to any constraints that humans aren't also in the regard you are describing…

Opus 4.6 has a 200k context limit in Copilot. Could be the issue.

It's easy to imagine but there's still a vast amount of innovation and development that has to happen before something like that becomes realistic. At that point the whole system o…
