My dream had always been to prove beautiful theorems as the AI agents unloaded my dishwasher. Well, it went the wrong way... 😂

There's been a ton of talk about the role of humans in code review, and when and how humans should be signing off on changes.
I believe that, long-term, humans have no role in routinely reviewing code.
100% you don’t need mcp.
Rant time 😈
I implemented and shipped support for MCP at Clerk, I contributed to the MCP spec and SDKs, and I was involved in steering the direction of the protocol in the early days, even attending in-person meetings about it with a variety of industry players.
I am now very strongly against MCP and advise against using it both as a consumer and as a provider. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any going back at this point, but I feel sadly confident that it will waste countless hours of everyone's time over the coming years, when a much easier and better answer is right under our noses.
Let me tell the full story.

Bad news: Fable nuked my entire dev machine
Claude decided to test a sandbox it was building by running `rm -rf` on my home directory
The sandbox didn't work.
It's all gone
Ending reservations altogether is a very tough political sell.
A better idea: reservation should be a ladder, not an inheritance.
Within reserved categories, prioritize first-gen beneficiaries. If a family has already benefited, the next opportunity should go one who hasn’t .

I asked Fable how hard these problems are, and its response is worth reading.
“On the Fields Medal scale, any single one of these…would plausibly anchor a medal case”
It’s crazy to see this happening
An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.
We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. openai.com/index/ten-advance…
Broken search is driving me insane! I tried clearing up the search index and reindexing. Tried several other fixes. Nothing works!
At this point, leaning towards vibe coding Mac search bar.
Mac search has been broken for 2 years, and nobody at Apple seems to care.
- I open spotlight search
- Type "calc"
- Calculator appears
- I hit return
But in the 0.2 seconds before I hit return, it swaps to a random file with the word "calc" in it somewhere. And I open a file I didn't want.
This happens to me every single day.
Very unbecoming of a $5T company whose customers are still obsessed with its products.

quick update on how this is going: they have gone back to linear because maintaining their internal tool that they vibecoded was taking away from their actual work’s bandwidth.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

There will only be so many that
- Truly believe in you
- Take a bet on you
- Help you for no real reason
- Are your champion
- Promote you
- Have your back
- See you are great
That doesn't mean they are perfect
In fact, they are the ones that may also be hardest on you
