the usual “MCP is dead, Skills forever” debate

Is that really a thing? Everything on the other side of the MCP boundary (at least how I'm using it) is deterministic and about 100x faster (not to mention safer) than inference.

One signficant difference this time is that they can rely on empathyless murder bots to quell riots instead human police.

Tom pulled up the tool’s specification on his diagnostic display. This was always the first step: read the spec, not the code. Clearly this writer has never felt the frustration of CC telling them a feature was never a part of the plan, because it overwrote the plan and then compacted.

This approach doesn't give access from the hypervisor to your private keys it gives access to other tenants to your private keys.

Not a big exactly but if pip doesn’t work it goes straight to pip —break-system instead of realizing it needs a venv

Also if a prisma migration fails it will say “this is dev it’s ok to erase the database” before rerunning the command with —accept-data-loss

When we switched from x264 to hardware based encoders it saved something like 90% on our customers' power and cooling bills.

So while this essay might be "technically correct" in some very narrow sense the author is speaking with far more authority than they have the experience to justify, which is what makes it obnoxious in the first place.

You need to get someone out there. Just tell them over and over again its an outside wiring problem and demand they dispatch a tech. the tech will have different phone numbers with people that sort of know what they are doing. At least this worked before chat gpt ate the world.

The thing is its much harder to higher a good junior dev. With a senior dev i can ask about the [hardest/most interesting/thing you would like to talk about] bug and talk through how they solved it to understand how their brain works.

With a Jr you basically need to spend an hour pair programming to sus out the great ones and no one has yet put in the time to filter out the bottom X0%.

we watched a cooking competition show last year where one of the contestants was tasked with breaking down a 100lb fish in order to prepare 4 entree sized portions of which the judges likely only took a bite or two... food waste in this kind of show is a given but this was totally galling.
