My main takeaway is that skills are software, and the same rules apply. The things that make a bad skill also make a bad software component, eg. being badly scoped. "Should we factor this out" has become "Should we make a skill for this". Same stuff, different form factor

Me when I hit the rate limits on my Codex microwave
Announcing Codex. A new product from OpenAI that moves beyond coding, into cooking. We were already cooking before, but now *you* can cook too ... with Codex. It is powered by the same technology as our other Codex products. You can just cook things.

no man talks to the same llm twice, for he is not the same man and it is not the same llm

Please teach LLM-backed tools about themselves. This is bare minimum now. I should be able to debug your tool *with* your tool most of the time

There’s a pattern with LLM dev tools: First few tries? Magic. Then you hit the edges: the LLM guesses, hallucinates, ignores your tools, blows through tokens… and the magic fades fast. @macebake shares what she learned building an MCP server for a CLI tool. MCPs shine when the user already knows what’s possible. But for new users? The limits show up quick.

I wrote about some lessons learned building an MCP server... I imagine this will feel silly, for one reason or another, in a year's time. ainativedev.io/news/teaching…

MCP servers are amazing when the use case for a tool is obvious. Getting LLMs to discover and use tools for unique use cases, or new products / paradigms, is a different game.

I think about this often. The internet is a “third space” for a lot of people imo
Do you think of the internet as more of a medium, or a place?
