I meant to say that MCP is just a wrapper around good old function/tool calling, it's not a new superpower by itself. So, if you're designing a Saas, you don't need to use MCP yourself, you can just use good old function

Obligatory note - if you're a backend developer, you do not need MCP. MCP is just tool/function calling. It has been around for a lot longer now. MCP is only needed if you need something to integrate with the frontend chat applica

Who cares, it's Adobe. They'll eventually steal your work under some under-the-hood TOS update and even charge you for it. Don't believe me? Ask the existing CS customers. Fuck Adobe. They should be boycotted to oblivion.

I use o3, it's really good with Elixir. I prefer it to Claude, but Claude does a decent job as well. If you want to take your website and business down, use ChatGPT-4o's code

In 2010, Facebook was one of the best websites to browse. It was everything you wanted a central social media platform to be. You could stay updated about your friends, family and even host pages for your business on it. Everything was just

I'm not sure about that. Newer models are able to output structured outputs perfectly and infact, if you combine it with changesets, you can have insanely useful applications since changesets also provide type-checking. For example, in

It is only undesirable if you are to expose your APIs for others to use via a consumer facing client. As a backend developer, I'm writing a backend for my app to consume, not for consumers (like MCP is designed for). So, this is better

If you search for MCP integrations, you will find tons of MCP "servers", which basically are entire servers for just one vendor's API (sometimes just for one of their products, eg. YouTube). This is the go to default right no

One of the biggest lessons for me while riding the MCP hype was that if you're writing backend software, you don't actually need to do MCP. Architecturally, they don't make sense. Atleast not on Elixir anyway. One server per

I never mentioned LiveView in my comment, just Phoenix (you can use Phoenix without LiveView). But, in defense of LiveView, I use it in production - however, you will need something to compliment it for sure - I use Svelte 5, which is great

I was a Rails consultant for about 7 years. Then, I switched to Phoenix - really out of just curiosity. Since then, I've never looked back. If you never believed in "Simple is better" philosophy, you will after using Phoenix.

Yep, it is not able to recognize. To be fair, it's not just dump it into ChatGPT and copy paste kind of AI. We feed it into the model in stages, we use 2-3 different models for content generation, and another 2 later on to smoothen the

I can tell you this much - most people who are opposed to AI writing blog articles are usually from the editorial team. They somehow believe they're immune to being replaced by AI. And this stems from the misconception that AI content

I think the perfect era for webpages were the late 1990s to early 2000s. No popups, good old marquee, buttons were clear and explicit, you could confidently click a hyperlink knowing full well it's going to take you to the page it said

This is really cool! Not just that, we actually really needed something like this in Elixir for a lot of projects and always had to end up going with some NodeJS implementation. Thank you <3

I never book AirBnB's because they refuse to address the core issues of privacy within the homes - such as owners installing hidden cameras. So many private videos are shared from AirBnB's and yet they do nothing about it - simply

The most annoying part of all this is they replaced o1 with o3 without any notices or warnings. This is why I hate proprietary models.
