In enterprise MCP allows users to access resources that could either be unsafe or impractical to consume via API or CLI. It is a powerful pattern, supported by virtually all client…

also, the same metric can be used in different ways and for different purposes across a business, so you might need different validation rules and definitions. Maybe one separate s…

I am so tired of these people, but it’s so sad they don’t understand themselves how ridiculous they are

I think “bought” here is to be read as “financed from”, not bought in the literal sense.

this is such a great idea! well done

how would you suggest someone who just started their career moves ahead to build that “taste” for lean and elegant solutions? I am onboarding fresh grads onto my team and I see a t…

maybe the fact that Persians != Arabs will improve their odds. Recent uprisings had more luck (i.e. Bangladesh), even if it’s too early to fully assess their success

I am reading a book called Accelerando (highly recommended), and there is a play on a lobsters collective uploaded to the cloud. Claws reminded me of that - not sure it was an inte…

I agree with you - we are saying the same thing, by restricting their API or making less developer friendly, they want you to be captive in their UI. This might not be true for Ant…

I think that these companies are understanding that as the barrier to entry to build a frontend gets lower and lower, APIs will become the real moat. If you move away from their UI…

I will give you an example I heard from an acquaintance yesterday - this person is very smart but not strictly “technical”. He is building a trading automation for personal use. In…

yesterday in an article here on HN i read a wonderful dutch proverb: “trust arrives on foot and leaves on horseback” seems it’s applicable to this case too. Sad to see decades of w…

a friend (and colleague, disclaimer) pushed this recently to github. It passes data through a duck fb layer exactly to avoid context bloat: https://github.com/agoda-com/api-agent w…

isn’t this easy for a potential attacker to mitigate, i.e. dropping from the address everything after the plus? it’s a known trick for gmail so i would not be surprised if an attac…

I disagree with this - there have been overthrowings that did not require weapons in the field (i.e. Egypt, Tunisia), while widespread weapons were likely to cause civil wars (Lybi…

I use the house analogy a lot these days. A colleague vibe-coded an app and it does what it is supposed to, but the code really is an unmaintainable hodgepodge of files. I compare …

this is a very good point, however the risk of writing bad or non extensive tests is still there if you don’t know what good looks like! The grind will still need to be there, but …

I remember a very nice quote from an Amazon exec - “there is no compression algorithm for experience”. The LLM might as well do wrong things, and you still won’t know what you don’…

Morsi did not have much time to do anything in all frankness - Sisi has now been there for 10+ years

I too started with your tutorial - thanks a million

While I don’t agree with you, I keep a healthily skeptical outlook and am trying to understand this too - what is the hard data? I saw a study a while ago about drops in productivi…

is it also possible that one of the side effects of this are that people driving recreationally become sometimes exceptionally good at it? see how many great f1/rally pilots Finlan…

what I mean is: building these systems is nontrivial, but if done well it can help. Imagine non being in an endless queue on a phone call when having to do a simple task through a …

we tried to build something similar lately for outbound calls (for simple reminders to partners) and faced massive issues using gpt-4o-realtime-audio. Noise detection, turn detecti…
