Also resources - which are by far the coolest part of MCP. Prompts? Elicitation? Resource templates? If you think of MCP as only a replacement for tool calls I can see the argument but it's much more than that.

I'll see if I can find books that are formatted well. Probably LLMs can help me with that

A few years ago I built a weekend project (paralleltext.io) which was fairly popular, even here on HN, but sadly I let the domain expire and was just sitting on my github. I finally took the time to revive it using Claude, with a few improvements for mobile experience. I've been getting occasional questions as to what happened to the project, so here's the revived version, hope you find it useful

The research assistant should be able to generate images

Oh yes, Europe bad, regulation bad. Maybe add some nuance to your thinking.

Golang returning tuples but not having pattern matching is something I'll never get. I really feel it's a too dumbed down version of erlang/elixir, especially with this context passing business

Replying to myself because I'm sure someone from Zulip will read this thread: I also wish for a tiered channel system. Instead of muting some, I'd like to promote some to high priority, so my inbox can toggle between the ones I really care about and a general overview.

I’ve started working at a company that uses Zulip and it’s by far the best thought out UX I’ve ever worked with in a communications app. Sure there’s some polish needed but the general structure just lets me get to where I want, gives me an overview of everything going on, and generally makes me happy. I wish for more keyboard shortcuts maybe, and the mobile app needs the recent conversations view, but I’m sure they’ll get there.

How is a fact that someone did something proof that it isn’t hard?

I do that but I also feel kinda bad since I feel I’m taking it instead of someone else who’s more budget constrained than me

I love this article. Simple way to express things that in hindsight should be obvious and very actionable. Thank you.

So hide the class list if you don’t want to see it

New comment by mstipetic in "MCP is a fad"

mstipetic — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 11:17:24 +0000

Sorry but disagree. For me the main part is the resources, which automatically get mounted in the computing environment, bypassing a whole class of problems with having LLMs work with a large amount of data.

I found it a common misconception so I wrote about it here https://goto-code.com/dont-sleep-on-mcp/

I think often times they’re not wrong but then again what do I do with this constant barrage of cynicism, can’t change much anyway

There’s a lot of pedantry as well

As someone who’s on Reddit a lot, I completely agree

The term "full stack" has a widely well understood meaning, you're being pedantic
