That’s weird. Any senior developer worth their salt surely should know that LLMs produce a lot of weird nonsense with one-shot prompts, so they need to talk design first, then code the implementation. This said, IMHO one-shot is worth a try

I’m not sure education or awareness is a solution. It doesn’t hurt, of course, but I think the real issue is that we’re frequently feeling “low energy” (for my lack of a better term) so entry barriers become important and least-effort optio

That's what most people would say - but why do they say this? As I understand it: 1. Because machine-generated content is not as good. Recent technical improvements are (IMHO) showing obvious and significant improvements over last year

Uh, my only objection way about talking about Claude Code as “UNIX way/philosophy”. While there are some similarities, they’re nowhere sufficient to call it so. (As far as I’m aware our brains are opposite of UNIX, starting right from

by drdaeman 1y ago
Right, and Claude Code is a large proprietary monolith. There’s nothing particularly UNIXy about it except that it can fork/execve to call ripgrep (or whatever), and that its CLI can use argv or stdin to receive inputs. That’s nowhere

Somewhat similar in the "think of the children" and "we want this to fight the baddies" arguments. Both SORM and ChatControl have stated goals of mandatory warrant-less eavesdropping. That's about all in similaritie

My point is that the term “safe” is not a good one. In context of the article it erodes the scope of what MCP is and what it does (bringing way more stuff into the picture) and misattributes issue. MCP safety is stuff like access controls,

by drdaeman 1y ago
I thought about it, and I think I know what the confusion could possibly be about. To me, postmark-mcp is not a part of MCP, it’s a black box that talks MCP on one end. And its behavior is not an MCP but software trust and distribution issu

by drdaeman 1y ago
Sorry, I don’t understand. My understanding of what MCP is - is that it’s just a standard on how to provide tools/functions to LLMs to call. What those functions are, what they do, and what else happens when they’re called is - in my u
