That's not what this is. MCP is still around and useful- skills are tailored prompt frameworks for specific tasks or contexts. They're useful for specialization, and in conjunction with post-training after some good data is acquired, will allow the next generation of models to be a lot better at whatever jobs produce good data for training.

It isn't particularly useful. It uses a lot of context without a lot of value. Claude has written a blog post saying as much. Skills keep the context out unless it's needed.

It's a much better system in my experience.

I had never used Typescript, I still don't even know the syntax as I haven't looked at a single line of code or text. I've done everything through claude code.

I'm pretty surprised how far along I am after a week. I couldn't have done this in 3 months without Claude Code.

Obviously it's not perfect, there is a lot to still do. Obviously there are normal bugs from LLMs being generally rough, but Opus 4.5 has done a pretty outstanding job in my mind given the constraints.

it's always funny, i think the opposite. I use a massive CLAUDE.md file, but it's targetted towards very specific details of what to do, and what not to do.

I have a full system of agents, hooks, skills, and commands, and it all works for me quite well.

I believe is massive context, but targetted context. It has to be valuable, and important.

My agents are large. My skills are large. Etc etc.

There is a major exception to the personal tastes issue, consistency and predictably in a mature codebase.

Things that would be personal taste in a greenfield project become important for maintenance in a mature product.

If there was one personal taste, this is achievable.

There is not. There are a variety of personal tastes and they all conflict with each other.

The thing that always bothers me is when the comments involve things that have nothing to do with the PR.

Like, they are reasonable ideas, but open up a new issue. If every reviewer wants to tackle large topics in the PR Review that have nothing to do with what specifically is happening, then it explodes and gets even harder for others to review now that we are changing things that have nothing to do with the change.

Try MyNoise. I used to build their app, if you can spot a single loop you have superhuman hearing.

You used to build it? It's wonderful, thank you for your work.

If you are asking random people, then your approach is incorrect. You should be asking the domain experts. Not gonna ask my wife about video games. Not gonna ask my dad about computer programming.

There, I've shaved a ton of the spread off of your argument. Possibly enough to moot the value of the AI, depending on the domain.

Before the internet, I didn't have the phone number of domain experts to just call and ask these questions. perhaps you did. For a lot of us, it was an entirely foreign experience to have domain experts at your finger tips.

Before the internet we asked people around us in our sphere. If we wanted to know the answer to a question, we asked, they made up an answer, and we believed it and moved on.

Then the internet came, and we asked the internet. The internet wasn't correct, but it was a far higher % correct than asking a random person who was near you.

Now AI comes. It isn't correct, but it's far higher % correct than asking a random person near you, and often asking the internet which is a random blog page which is another random person who may or may not have done any research to come up with an answer.

The idea that any of this needs to be 100% correct is weird to me. I lived a long period in my life where everyone accepted what a random person near them said, and we all believed it.

I have friends that work there, it is a great place to work, but not without it's problems.
AndyNemmity · 4 months ago
of course there are problems, there always will be. no solution will ever remove them, but the trade offs seem massively better.
