So the actual content of the food then? Why not say that?

How would you prevent a junior engineer doing this mistake? Presumably, you would setup a lint rule. Do the same for LLMs. Run the linter after each edit through a hook, give feedback to the LLM. Write your lint rules with clear explanations of why the behavior is a problem, and nudges to the good behavior.

Just block the bash pattern with a hook and nudge it towards the behavior you want.

I have dynamic pricing in Germany and the cost of electricity when to literally zero for a few hours today.

Except the evidence today rather points to SOTA model + harness than fine tuned models.

That's not a hack, if you operate the entity from Germany, it must be registered in Germany. It's often touted as a tax loophole, but it's not. Tax authorities do not care about you unless you actually make money, then they will come after you.

You don't need business plans and all that stuff. The problem in Germany for instance is that a GmbH needs 25k of capital + expensive notarization. These are the only two things that need improvement.

Why is that?

I use the same motion to iterate on linter config and hooks (both claude code hooks and git hooks). So guardrails are actually enforced and iterated upon and do not clutter the context.

Claude can run code. Add to your customs instructions to check the time regularly and you're done. Why do you need an MCP?

> But if it's so obvious, why aren't other developers rolling out their own PKMS? Perhaps I'm the first to discover this or perhaps developers aren't writing about their custom PKMS. My guess is that commercial note-taking apps have larger, more vocal communities that drown out the murmurings of other DIY solutions.

Because we value our time.

It's a good idea to just not do stupid shit that would make it very painful to actually get compliant. Get vendors who have certs, keep infra minimal (which means not infra team). The more you do in house the more painful compliance will be. Buy, and buy from certified providers, simple. Manage identity centrally, keep all your secrets in a secret manager, use git and do code reviews. You're right all things you should be doing anyway.
