Best and most accurate post I've ever seen in my life 🤣 #LGRW
Time to give Mo the big C
Hardcore agree on this 👌
Oh, I guess RAM and GPU price increases are just imaginary because AI models can just replicate themselves and run on anything.
But hey... this guy will get what he wants. He'll scare the shit out of politicians and non-technical people into thinking that AI is just going to self-replicate and take over the world, to the point where they make some really fucking dumb policy decisions.

I've since made the Claude Code exist dance and couldn't be happier with my decision. Will I be back? Who knows 🤷♂️ Is the model capibilities compatible for most use cases? For shizzle 👌

⇨ gridctl by @wcollins.io eliminates fragmented MCP configuration chaos by letting you securely manage, aggregate, and link every MCP server behind a single local endpoint.
⇨ Access your agent skills and tool stacks from anywhere using one declarative YAML file.

Putting this in the “yah, we know we screwed up and made the model respond with nonsensical babble to consume even more tokens, but here’s another setting that equally will add yet another CoT process step and burn even more tokens until we can figure something out” category,
My #OpenSoure passion project is currently on #DevHunt tied for first place! If you can find it in your "use AI in a practical way for real things" caffeine fueled heart, give me a vote 😉
Winning == Motivation to keep hacking away in the #OSS way ⚡️

💡 Fun times supporting the new #MCP rev without breaking the old one!

Hockey pucks can move at a fast rate of speed when fired by a person with a wicked shot. And those willing to jump in front of that shot, might be a little delusional and crazy. Oh wait, that's me 😜

The biggest myth in open source: making your code public means giving away your ideas.
@MacroEngineered joined the Art of Network Engineering podcast to give his take: the real competitive moat of any software project isn't the code. It's execution. 👇

Don't miss this new episode of The Art of Network Engineering!
Andy recently sat down with William Collins to discuss a deep dive into the shifting tech landscape, covering everything from GitHub and IP to why execution consistently beats ideas.

Skills over MCP is not skills vs MCP.
It's skills delivered over MCP as a protocol. Think voice over IP. MCP stays the transport. What rides on top gets a lot more useful.
