so let’s say you wrote it as an MCP server but you only use it from Claude desktop with claude37. if you give me your code, I can run that MCP server in Cursor or Zed with R1 or o3-mini or gemini pro 2.5 _while making 0 changes to your code_

MCP is pretty much _just_ an opinionated interoperability standard. you, the assistant dev, agree to structure your code a certain way, and I, your assistant user, get to use your assistant setup with my own model and/or client.

you can speak to my lawyer about that thanks

ya but when you read something like that you figure it just has to be a euphemism

what the fuck

not sure wtf that is but deal

OPN 🫡

frankly, i’d settle for the death of “x is all you need”

would love to make a starter pack but a lot of the people from there haven’t migrated yet

we’ll go with a tentative good

i’m thinking e.g. design-focused front ends ppl, technical startup ppl that care more about the what than the how of their product, non-cs scientists, …

toying with a thesis that people who fundamentally consider themselves programmers fall outside of the ideal audience for code assist ai tools — people who are other things but happen to program a lot as part of their main thing seem to love it

welcome!

hello!

not totally uncommon but also unlucky that you landed in a fart zone, better luck next time

it’s mostly the weather tbh
