This! Passkeys would have been tough for me to adopt without this ability. Now passkeys are significantly more convenient that any other MFA method.

You are able to do this while the output is small enough. But, it will not stay small for long. Business expectations are rising fast. To stay competitive, you have to push large amounts of code/fixes/features. There is no way to manually review it or QA it. If your org is not there yet, it will eventually get there. Or it will die out. It is only a matter of time.

It is more of a curse than a blessing. MCP pollutes agent context even when you are not using it. Use a manually invoked skill instead if you don't want to be wasting tokens on every turn and bloating up agent context making it dumber in the process.

The agent can get to the resource through the MCP server or using API key. I personally do not see the benefit MCP is providing here. Sure you can reduce the exposed surface at MCP layer, but I do that at the API layer. I don't need to add another layer here.

I can kinda understand if you do not have control of the API layer and/or you have to expose the API layer to the public Internet as well. Most of the time that is not the case for me.

I don't. I blame on the ADHD. Or maybe its laziness.

This may come as a surprise, but most phones can capture audio these days. Has your state made them illegal yet?

I agree. But, we will need a lot fewer of them. My small company called our lawyer a lot more before the advent of AI. Mostly to clarify a few things or review simpler contracts. Now, for simple things, we do not call them at all.

We all want super exciting jobs. But plenty have boring jobs like this. Between not having a job or having a boring job that pays well, the choice is obvious for many of us.

I do not. Craigslist was completely anonymous. Marketplace a lot less so. This makes a massive difference.

> marketplace seems to be where everyone in my area has congregated.

I think that is not just limited to your area.

You are closer to a normie than most here I assume.

Thinkpads were great too. I had the Thinkpad 701C with the butterfly keyboard. It was awesome for its time.

Canadians, and the rest of the world is finding out that you don't even need a conflict for US to lay claim over your stuff. "We want it", is perfectly legitimate and legal reason for the taking.

Maybe if they started collecting data..

You may not care. But that does not mean that nobody else does either. Some of us are trying to eke out every last bit of performance from these things. And so yeah, we're going to geek out on it.

I don't use AWS/EC2. I think they are way overpriced for what you get. But, it would be incorrect of me to assume that everybody else feels that way.

I do not trust any provider, US or Chinese when they say they will not train on my data. I still use these services, but I am under no illusion that any of these people are trustworthy bunch.
