This is precisely the issue. It took a fair amount of idealism, conviction, and commitment in order to create the open source movement and bring it to where it is today. In contrast, most skilled data science practitioners are just chasing IPO exits these days.

Fable is a complete joke:

what's the best way to run this mcp server against the OData API used in this project? Can you come up with a PoC in a docker container?

https://github.com/oisee/odata_mcp_go

● I'll dig into two things in parallel: how this project talks to the OData API, and what the odata_mcp_go server needs to run. Let me start exploring.

Searched for 1 pattern (ctrl+o to expand)

● Fable 5's safety measures flagged this message for cybersecurity or biology topics. They may flag safe, normal content as well. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capability in other areas sooner, and we're working to refine them. Switched to Opus 4.8. Send feedback with /feedback or learn more ⎿ Tip: You can configure model switch behavior in /config

● Let me read the key integration files and fetch the MCP server's README at the same time.

The linear MCP is amazing to work with as it lets me keep all my workflows in the terminal. The ergonomics around search and ticket management are dead simple going through a terminal agent, so I didn't need much more convincing after enabling that configuration.

Clearly they need more layoffs, and for that matter why keep anyone around? After all, AI will be writing 100% of code in 2026.

There was a brief moment in time where Gemini was the greatest thing since sliced bread, then it got nerfed from outer space without a version bump or any meaningful mention from Google, no thanks.

Care to elaborate? I jumped ship when 5.4 first released, have things gotten worse?

CC usage limits and the 5 hour cool downs are what made me realize that I can't depend on this tool in a professional setting.

Yes, junior candidates lacking the knowledge and wisdom to redirect an LLM, that's who will unlock the mythical AI productivity.

I looked into this specific file, and the history doesn't contain anything too interesting. The root file is already the fully redacted and flattened document, and the edit in question is the addition of a numbered footer to each page.

I'm also finding Gemini 3 (via Gemini CLI) to be far superior to Claude in both quality and availability. I was hitting Claude limits every single day, at that point it's literally useless.

victor9000 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:59:52 +0000

Agreed, Postgres and recursive CTEs will let you simulate graph traversal with the benefit of still having a Postgres db for everything else.

The best thing about owning a framework is that you can easily recover from silly events like spilling an entire latte on your laptop. I've done this twice so far and both times it cost me $99 to swap out the keyboard and get back to a stock look and feel.

> I don't know, claude did that

I'm the type of reviewer that actually reads code and asks probing questions, and I've heard this from junior and senior devs alike. It's maddening how people say this with a straight face and expect to keep their jobs. If people are pushing code they don't understand, they're liability to their team, product, and employer.

Is there a difference between dropping an object straight down vs casting it fully around the earth? The outcome isn't really the issue, it's the implications of giving any credence to the justification, the need for action, and how that justification will be leveraged going forward.

These discussions around model welfare sound more like saviors searching for something to save, which says more about Anthropic’s culture than it does about the technology itself. Anthropic is not unique in this however, this technology has a tendency to act as a reflection of its operator. Capitalists see a means to suppress labor, the insecure see a threat to their livelihood, moralists see something to censure, fascists see something to control, and saviors see a cause. But in the end, it’s just a tool.
