div3rs3··on Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?
I assume the target audience for the question is developers. That will generate many responses along the lines of ”just use a CLI”.

The current, main driver I see for MCP servers are non-technical people who want to securely connect data sources to their AI application.

div3rs3··on Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When AI Bubble Bursts
Hosted by Apple or not, but isn’t the biggest feature of iOS 27 LLM integration?
div3rs3··on Substack writers, you need a website
You mention RSS, but Substack is about paid subscribers, is it not? What do you think converts a Substack user to a subscriber; is it just a numbers game?
div3rs3··on Ask HN: Do you ask the LLM to intentionally add spelling errors?
Do you feel the output could've been yours, or is it about the output feeling more humane?
div3rs3··on Trunk Based Development
We're organized in small teams around specific products. That leads to mob programming being a good fit, so code reviews and knowledge sharing is organic. This gives us an opportunity to commit to main and do direct deploys to production. Treating every commit as deployable is key, but it drives good practices.
div3rs3··on Mob Programming (2018)
The largest benefit of mob programming (or software teaming or ensemble programming) is the continuous knowledge sharing. Instead of trying to figure out context during code reviews or syncs, you do it organically all the time. Developing together builds a tight team where people grow together.
div3rs3··on Show HN: I built a word game. My mom thinks it's great. What do you think?
Nice job! Pretty fun game.

Only improvement ideas I have are for a smoother start for new players:

1. Let the user start the game themselves so that they have a chance to read the rules without a stressful first impression.

2. Use a different label text than "Build your word here" as it sounds like a drag and drop target rather than an output.

div3rs3··on MessagePack: It's like JSON, but fast and small.
I'd argue the value goes up with larger payloads. The tradeoff is ease of use vs efficiency.
div3rs3··on Ask HN: What programming jobs are least likely to be disrupted by AI?
Hence my question was about programming rather than engineering. Composition could, for a long time, be a task humans do whereas the components are generated by AI.
div3rs3··on Ask HN: What programming jobs are least likely to be disrupted by AI?
They're likely on the hype train, I'll give you that. Doesn't mean next generation won't be doing software engineering completely different from how it's done now.
div3rs3··on Chiptune.app
Lizardking’s stuff is great, e.g. Triton Theme: https://chiptune.app/?q=lizardking
div3rs3··on How to Corrupt an SQLite Database File
An Es Kew El or A Seakewl Lite
div3rs3··on Building a data team at a mid-stage startup
Done well (like here), The Goal like storytelling, is both educational and interesting.
div3rs3··on Show HN: Data Driven Tech Radar
Great work! Mashing up data based on tweets, HN posts and real-world projects (i.e. from GitHub) would be an interesting dimension.
