I’ve heard the term “on the bench”, which means you have no project to work on and you are lined up for firing if the situation doesn’t change soon enough. I thought at first it was a spelling mistake

In my experience, a skill is better suited for this instead of an MCP. If you don’t want the agent to probe the CLI when it needs it, a skill can describe the commands, arguments and flags so the agent can use them as needed.

For Jira/Confluence, I also struggled with their MCPs. JIRA’s MCPs was hit or miss and Confluence never worked for me. We don’t use the cloud versions, so not sure if they work better with cloud. On the other hand, i found some unoffic

This is interesting. I wrote a “memory indexer” with the idea to provide a tool (cli) for my agent to “remember” past conversations we had in other session. A little bit in the spirit of your second tool I think I’ll take a look at the othe

Water used to be managed by a local cool here where I live. I had been for decades. A few months ago i got an email saying that PE had acquired it. I was paying between ~$25/month before. Today i got the first bill from new management

I got a pair of Santoni’s leahther sneakers in 2017, for about $500. I still have them and while they worn out a bit, they are still nice. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I remember describing them like “walking in clouds”. Neve

This is in my mind the hardest part as well. I can solve the cube with the regular “easy” 3-layer approach, but I’d like to solve it faster. The issue is that the techniques for fast solving require to learn many different patterns to get t

Maybe this may help. What if we are not talking internal development teams but something different, like a commercial/public API? In those cases you cannot affort or expect to have meetings with folks to explian and communicate, and yo

I’ve been hiring interns and managing internships for the past 10+ years. The number of interns at any given time varies from 1 to 10+ We were a small team at some point (less than 10) and now the company is bigger (~500 engineers). We hire

Back in the day when I started coding in Go, I basically did the Go Tour on the official website, and watched some of videos. I paid close attention to learning how to write idiomatic Go. I also read a bunch of code from the std lib. Then a

A few years ago we started using HackerRank and created a test with 4 or 5 coding questions for candidates to do on their own. They could pick the programming language from about 10 options and the questions had varying degrees of complexit

That’s understandable, but why then they seem to operate under the same premises still? We are in the post COVID years now and more and more organizations are using it today. Is it accurate to say they have no incentive to improve, given th

Maybe that’s a cultural difference as well (?) I’m a non-american living in Austin, TX and what folks call hills here is different from what we call hills back home…

If this was the case, wouldn’t had been better to axe these features once they were ready to roll out the new LLM-based functionality?

I wouldn’t call my self an expert in React or frontend for that matter. Earlier this year, I was helping someone create an MVC for a startup idea and I stumble upon NextJS (v13 at the time). Within 2 or 3 weeks I was able get it up and runn

One strategy I use is to focus on negative reviews. Read as many and see what things they are complaining about. Something you can see patterns of petty complains, and other times you can detect bigger issues that may make you look elsewher

I think I understand this, and I hope this doesn’t sound like me repeating myself. My point was that there are cases in which you cannot fully automate this (compliance, audits, regulation, etc) So the solution will be to use Jira’s/GH

It has to be approved by a person (the manager/owner) because if you automate that part then it may not be in compliance with certain regulation If you were to automate the approval then why even ask for approval? Edit: just to add, yo

I separate work from personal life as much as possible. I create a new iCloud account with my work email and use that. I never use my iCloud account in my company’s hardware [0]. If I want to listen to music, I play it from my personal iPho

In this context, would Kubernetes be an orchestrator for application containers or system containers? Or both?
