Isn't it sad that we are surrounded by so many broken promises that that is remarkable

This is largely driven by RAM prices, which is a real shame.

That doesn’t negate how impressive it is

New comment by simonjgreen in "Claude Code Routines"

Completely agree. Use of features like this places one the wrong side of the vendors moat, increasing switching cost, decreasing competitive pressure.

Absolutely agree. Don’t automatically attribute to malice what can also be explained by incompetence

And the sad thing is, I can guarantee this thread alone will be great marketing for Apollo and they will gain a pile of new enquiries Monday morning.

Anthropic is definitely gaining ground over OpenAI in the business world. Cowork is the absolute hotness right now, and even prompted MSFT to drop their own variant yesterday

So does Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Albeit more subtle, but they are hardly shy about it

Very clever, this video uses the Klingon audio track as a means to get extra information about this type of rock he is milling down. Never seen it done before!

What you are describing is sometimes considered to be part of the mythical Cat IIIC standard. The gap between Cat IIIB and Cat IIIC is being able to fully automate the entire taxiing and other ground manoeuvring. It is widely considered to be impossible to achieve safely with current tech. It does feel like the future though.

New comment by simonjgreen in "SSH has no Host header"

simonjgreen — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 06:43:06 +0000

They are remarkably common in long lived enterprise Linux servers. Think eg database servers or web servers where they are of the (much longer lived) pet era not cattle era.

Not sure why you need to belittle one example just to add another

simonjgreen — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 08:00:08 +0000

SSH does support certificate based auth, and it’s a great upgrade to grant yourself if you are responsible for a multi human single user system. It grants revocation, short lifetime, and identity metadata for auditing, all with vanilla tooling that doesn’t impose things on the target system.

New comment by simonjgreen in "The Enterprise Context Layer"

simonjgreen — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:23:17 +0000

Yes. This feels more like a way to produce an SMB context layer than enterprise.

New comment by simonjgreen in "MCP is dead; long live MCP"

simonjgreen — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 09:44:46 +0000

As someone charged with enabling users across an enterprise with AI tooling, the majority of whom are not in the software dev category, this article is perfectly mirroring my approach. Which is reassuring!

Challenges we are solving with centralised MCP are around brand guardianship, tone of voice, internal jargon and domain context, access to common data sources, and via the resources methods in MCP access to “skills” that prescribe patterns and shims for expected paths and ways of connecting/extracting data.
