Plus 1, Goodnotes is such a well developed product. I also have an iPad screen guard which gives a paper like feel when writing which makes my brain think I am writing on a book.

Good work. But what makes this different than just another feature in Gemini Code assist or Github copilot?

This is a good list. Are you finding these can be integrated into your CI/CD workflows?

There are a few tools in the space, but they each focus on parts:

- MCP Inspector (Anthropic's official tool) — interactive debugging, not CI-oriented - MCP-Scan (Invariant Labs, now Snyk) — security scanning, focused on tool poisoning detection - Promptfoo — LLM red teaming tool that added MCP support recently - MCP Protocol Validator — spec compliance checking

MCPSpec tries to be the one tool that covers the full workflow: record, replay, mock, security audit, quality scoring, and CI setup. None of the above do recording/replay or mock generation.

As for standards — there aren't any yet. MCP itself moved under the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation in December 2025, and NIST launched an AI Agent Standards Initiative last month. But no conformance or testing standard exists. It's still early.

I just have one question.........Are they replacing Junior Engineers yet?

I think so too. But the incentive of not doing tech interviews the traditional way will be a bit tempting too.

Question for the greater HN community? Would it help if software engineers demonstrate their skills on an ongoing basis via a third party which accesses them periodically without the pressure cooker environment of technical interviews and companies just do cultural fit type of interviews based on the previous assessments of their technical skills?

Yes. You are absolutely right. My family member can afford to pay for it fortunately. It might not be in the budget for majority of people though unless you are desperate and nothing else seems to work. It literally doesn't make sense why insurers don't cover this treatment which might just save them a lot of money later on down if the affected person has host of other issues due to being overweight.

I would say get checked by doctor/Endocrinologist and do the relevant bloodwork (Esp. Insulin levels, thyroid, etc). A family member is overweight and nothing changed even with diet changes and regular exercise. It took a long time to find out the root issues (especially Insulin resistance). Once we got the root cause, they put the member on Wegovy (weekly Injection) and started a low carb diet and exercise. It is amazing to see the effect Wegovy has taken with the member's weight loss. Couldn't recommend it enough now for people with genuine weight loss issues.

Thank you. How can I find your email?

How did you get the parenting professionals to write the guides? Did you pay out of your pocket to write the guides and be available for on-demand support initially? Reason I am asking is I am working on something in a different health field and want to know how to convince the right medical professionals to get onboard.

As a father of a toddler, kids will always cry and be terrified for any thing they try for the first time (i.e. at the hairdressers). You can't always reason with the kids who don't understand anything. Kids don't look at experiences as "interesting things going on". And every kid is different so don't compare kids as if they are the same.

"staffed with below-average IQ people"

I don't think anyone is in the position to judge other IQ's especially co-workers. These people passed the same interview loop as you. Just puts them in the same "IQ" bracket as you. Maybe they also feel the same way as you and don't want to put their effort in trying to turn this team around and just want to coast and switch later on. You need to get off your high horse and try to understand the motivations of the team by talking to them individually and bringing stuff up in standups/meetings and suggest ways to improve. Work with your manager. Maybe you can be the one who can turn this team around without burning out yourself. In the end, its just a job and trick is to not take everything personally.

Not sure what you mean by follow someone. Everyone is different though. I am very close to my parents and now since they are getting old, I feel I should at least talk to them every day if not meet them.

Maybe its just me...I have been staying away from my parents in a different country since the last 13 years. With a wife and a toddler, I still feel uneasy if I don't speak to my parents twice a day. Even though we don't have much to talk about every day, it's just the feeling of seeing them and hearing their voice which calms me down.

Amazon and places like Amazon can go to hell. Life is too short to work in such shitty places. Ultimately everyone is just working to make investors and owners rich. Employees will only earn a fraction of what higher ups earn even after working themselves to death. Having worked in such an environment, I will be honest that I have earned and progressed more than I would have had I stayed in that shitty toxic workplace.

I have been taking baby aspirin since I had a colon cancer scare after my doctor advised me to. After a lot of literature reading, daily low dose aspirin therapy seems to be a good way to take care of your health.

How Can Companies Improve Their Retention and Hiring? Answer is simple, Pay the people appropriate salaries and remove micromanagers to improve conditions.

I really love your comment. Too few people realize this.

Staying too long at my first job. Held back my wages and career. Thankfully I am above the industry level now....but it took a lot of effort to get to it. Lesson: Never say loyal to a company. Stay only loyal to yourself.

This will play out as it always has been. In the end, nothing will happen because of this revelation. Investors will keep on funding and things will go on as usual.

So many inventors who changed so many human lives just fade out of memory. I wish we had a wall of remembrance for all these people.

I can relate to this. The experience seriously caused me trauma and I vowed to never stay in a place if it turns toxic.

All I think when I see a house/structure like this is: Ghosts...Nope.

In the world's second most populated country...incidents have been happening all the time. Except now its the media reporting and amplifying and sensationalizing the issues to get TRP and clicks.

I am fine with an aircraft which takes me supersonic over Atlantic/Pacific and then switches to subsonic over land on my way to Asia.

Same can be said about drones though right?

What is stopping from using existing remote pilot drone technology and using it for dog fights and other missions that fighter pilots do?

There won't be sustainable fishing unless illegal Chinese fishing fleet is banned and destroyed.

Pretty sure the author will also get "poached" if a FAANG offers them 200k more than what they currently make.
