    Prompting with documentation and examples works. In an agentic tool having an MCP server for the db helps assuming it is a straightforward schema with explicitly defined relationsh…

    I remember looking at palm webos devices in 2010 and thinking this is cool. The docs on how things worked were really good for the time. The hardware was sleek palm pre if I rememb…

    Same experience. For a while I had to do chrome again because it became unusable on my aging phone and then they turned the ship around. I am always stunned when I have to use anyt…

    Just to add another perspective: Native apps are sticky. As an example a Webshop has no reason to have a native app (likely it is a browser wrapper anyway). However, being installe…

    Awesome. I recently had similar thoughts and then I was considering all the variations in the android eco system. Lots of times when I am helping I have to just rely ony intuition …

    I am one of the likely millions of people that got sucked into python for its accessibility and powerful data manipulation libraries. Granted I started in the mid aughts with web s…

    That is too simplistic. You underestimate the depth of academia. Sure the latest break through Alzheimers study or related research would benefit from a replication. Which is done …

    That is exactly my experience as well. Nothing noticeable for years and then a quite obvious one and it kept coming after that.
