You're writing hardware interfaces with... python?

You've already lost

If I see one more time the trope that "sOnNeT LeArNeD tO bLaCkMaIL" I'm gonna lose it - like yeah, you tell an LLM, as PART OF ITS PROMPT TO BLACKMAIL and surprised it follows suit...

But I guess the fact that no one cares / understands this fact is anyway a sign that we are doomed. Farewell

boring... two parties to choose from and it wasn't "yours" - so you whine... clown posts like this are half of the reason (or more) why U.S. is doing so poorly

Early in the morning
Rise into the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I'll strap shoes on my feet

I know you thinkin', you think you know it all
Runnin' your mouth behind my back, you just mad you not involved
Over here, no

"Create a MCP server based on the agentic API and integrate with MCP clients such as Claude."

Ah yes, the classic "agentic API" - I've heard of this one before! Please, tell me more!

Turn an "all or nothing" response from an MCP tool into a "stream" response by leveraging the LLM and the MCP tool prompt itself ๐Ÿ˜‚

I mean it will work and all... but what a time to be alive - and at least 1000 devs are rolling in their grave at such an abomination

Guy builds an MCP tool which can call all different models

All comments on reddit ask him to support OpenRouter with this MCP tool

Which in turn does the exact same thing... as calling all models

I'm convinced literally NOBODY knows what they are talking about at this point

Remember that time I took that full stack software job in Switzerland for 25/CHF an hour?

Peppridge farm remembers.

It's wild the variety of code quality you see in these wild west AI MCP tools

Everything that is evil in the software world is from breaking standards that TEAMS of people spent YEARS working on

HTTP? nah

Stripe Payment workflow? nah

Database relationships? nah

Literally TERRABYTES of SAP ERP management processes? nah

people who characterize their entire life & personality by like, one thing... ๐Ÿ˜‚

"I'm sporty!"
"I'm an artist!"
"I'm a workaholic!"

Your business model: reselling what is already being resold.

Good luck!

People see CodeVideo and assume immediately its some sort of AI tool. In fact, the only "AI" thing we are doing is the text-to-speech models... and that was just a place holder for sound bytes the author could record themselves!

the fact that some youtuber quit and I have no idea who it is but keep seeing it everywhere shows on average just how cooked the average person is
