isaacphi··on Show HN: FluidCAD – Parametric CAD with JavaScript
This looks incredible, great job!

I've been revisiting OpenSCAD recently but find it very frustrating. I just got started with build123d which is great but I'll definitely be trying this. The workflow is exactly what I'm looking for.

I'll drop an issue if I have feedback. Are you open to PRs?

isaacphi··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)
Super interesting! I'm also working on something related to MCP and LSP: https://github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server it's an MCP server that runs a language server.

Do I understand this properly, you're building a telemetry tool for MCP similar to your telemetry tool for LSP, or is it something else?

isaacphi··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)
An MCP server that runs and exposes a language server. Current tools seem to mostly use grep but this works much better for many tasks.

I'm new to Go and this has been a fun project.

isaacphi··on How I Use "AI"
I would love to know which plugin or custom code the author uses to automate workflows in emacs as well as the shell
isaacphi··on Ask HN: Am I using AI wrong for code?
Thanks for the tip, trying it out!
isaacphi··on Why we no longer use LangChain for building our AI agents
I had the same impression after working through the LangChain tutorials. The one thing I'd like to ask about is Observability. LangChain has some tools around observability that seem genuinely useful to me, and specific to working with LLMs. Are there ways to use only these tools, or alternative observability tools you recommend for working with LLMs?
