Actually, this sounds like an answer from a male non-parent. There’s a drive to reproduce in every biological being. It has never been about comparing towards neighbors, love and joy, etc. I’m a parent, and honestly, it’s just biology.
LinkedIn has become an AI-slopped wasteland. It’s like the opposite of when boomers found Facebook, which was the weirdest melting pot of zero-integrity posts and comments.
Now we have these tech-savvy people generating worthless images and producing generic, emoji-infested takeaways.
When nobody actually knows (how to write a CLAUDE.md), everyone’s an expert. Infuriating, indeed. Even more so when people vibe code those files without proofreading.
I remember when OpenAI announced ChatGPT now will remember stuff between sessions. Oh, you mean find random trivia about me and copy paste it between prompts without out my explicit consent.
”compare these three cars. Oh btw I am a data engineer, and my moms maiden name is Joana, and I am allergic to bad poetry. And code should be DRY, I prefer SQL over Python and what’s the most poisonous flower in Scandinavia?”.
I’ve had so much wierd output because context is ”””memorized””” and bleeding into completely unrelated projects and conversations. It’s the first feature I turn off.
TBF, I haven’t heard much about MCPs at all lately. I thought it was one of those “install once -> make LinkedIn post on how MCPs will change the world -> ugh MCP crashes with wierd error -> abandon” things. Could be wrong.
I think there’s a balance to it. You have to meet the customer, and also understand your boundaries. I’ve sold non-existent features that I was unsure if I could deliver, but always solved it since I’m good at smooth talking. I’ll make sure what I deliver brings value, and keep a dialogue with the client. Sales relations are rarely static from my experience.
I don’t like that non-technical users has to keep context bloat in mind. That should be ”solved” on the developer end. How would they now it’s bloated if they treat MCPs like regular software? I 100% agree on designing things for humans, and you’ll get the AI-agents for free. I am surprised no one seems to have figured that out yet.
I remember my good old PC with Windows around 2005. It wanted to reboot all the time and got stuck in an infinite updating cycle every time I did. It was a particularly lazy computer.
