If Anthropic is recommending to treat MCP as a code library, why do we need MCP? Why can't we just use OpenAPI defined APIs?

maybe every mcp server can be 3 tools - describe(filter) => schema: get all capabilities - search(input) => toolcalls[]: for a (maybe unstructured) language query (+ opt. metadata) get a sequence/tree of toolcalls - execute(tools) => result: take that list above and run it

My biggest worries about coding with AI: 1. Beginners not actually learning 2. Atrophy of skills I’m seeing #1 happen and I don’t have a good answer yet. Leveling up as an engineer requires grinding and it’s not always fun. If AI can solve most of the problems for you, when

Have you ever wanted an asana CLI? If so, what features would you want in the CLI?

Now in Claude Code: when you accept a plan, Claude automatically clears your context, so your plan gets a fresh context window. We found this helps keep Claude on track longer, and significantly improves plan adherence. If you prefer not to clear your context when accepting a

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually

tired of the fear narrative pushed by ai companies i try to highlight ways trying hard and caring still matter - i think it means a lot coming from people in the space others who are pro ai and pro human worth following: martin_casado eric provencher Lee Robinson (cursor in general)

I love the potential of AI, but it also makes me a bit sad. Vibe coding feels like undoing years of hard-earned craftsmanship and precision. The challenge now is using AI to raise the bar, not lower it.

Every team shipping AI-assisted code at scale needs new norms around quality gates, observability, and ownership. Regardless of which model or toolchain you use, this is one of the most practical frameworks I've seen for adopting agentic development.

It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should. For example, Obsdian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links. Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.

wild how a fast CI/CD pipeline with good test coverage is basically a competitive advantage now

someone give me a good argument as to why LLMs won't commodify note this doesn't mean big labs don't continue to do well, just means they don't have monopoly power in it

Obsidian CLI closes the loop so you can have your agent build you an Obsidian plugin autonomously: - Write code - Reload plugin - Check for errors - See the result - Inspect styling - Run arbitrary checks Claude Code can now easily run 30+ minutes uninterrupted.

a lot of our recent hires care deeply about code how's it's written, how to make it elegant, how to make it easy to understand and a joy to maintain it's a counter bet in a field where most people are saying we won't be looking at code for much longer

Delegation & management is what you do when you lack proper tools & abstractions In other words, AI Agents are NOT the future of software development. But it's no surprise everyone is confused. New media always initially resembles old media. Early television resembled film and

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have

I am amused by anyone and everyone believing "SaaS is dead" because of AI coding tools that allow building software potentially faster than before. You pay for SaaS because it's *purpose-built* to do something very, very well. E.g. HubSpot helps do a LOT more sales!

I don’t get why Anthropic hasn’t used Claude Code to rewrite their bloated Electron app as native. Should be much easier than a C compiler.
