Because if it was easy there wouldn't be bureaucratic friction for you to make money from.

log minimum most important first. timestamp, path, user, and exception messages. don't implement update or delete. prefer storing logs outside the system. are you logging for debugging or audit purposes? can you do both in one place? and log the response code.

AFAIK most cells can only divide a limited number of times, because the dna gets shorter with every copy. There is a finite bit of padding at the end (that you're born with) and once that's used up through too many copies, the cell can no longer divide (supposedly).

but we can just make another human with new cell timespans? something doesn't add up. also, men without kids age slower but die early while men with kids age faster and live longer.

absolutely nothing. when i first heard about mcp i decided to not even try. my understanding of the vision is an endpoint you can post and receive a response. at the same time i don't like the color scheme on hn and i ask myself why doesn't hn have an api endpoint for all what they show and let people post? but the biggest question of all is why "you give me json and i decide what to do with it" isn't the norm and we have to consume this html garbage layouts and colors of which i fundamentally disagree with on a very down to earth human level. i guess wars have been started over sillier things. what if my pink isn't the same pink as your pink? like how do you know? we used to have this kid that saw things at higher refresh rate and the school would have to increase monitor refresh rate for him. so it's possible we've gone down the wrong road for way too long. i see projects like ESP32 and i dream of the day when to be considered an application you have to be certified to use finite amount of resources and that games aren't all trying to be realistic all the time while knowing damn well they can't render volumetric smoke for shit which alone would increase game quality by over 50% in my opinion, but apparently smoke compute is expensive, so we wont see realistic smoke probably not in our lifetime me guess. we have total domination in linux has absolutely no competitor and is used for different reason from the only consumer os windows. we're going in the wrong direction with a lot of these hot off the press ide, forks, extensions, just the whole ecosystem of bullshit is brewing. html every year i assume it's getting a new feature browsers implement, it's like a train that started moving so fast it's difficult for you to get on but it's so long that it never leaves the station and the station is forever. just absolute madness. i wish we could slow it down. imagine being born now but only realizing learning how to prompt an LLM is important when you're 20 while everyone else has 20 years of experience advantage. it's kinda funny reading people on here complain about things they don't like while collectively knowing you all have the power to change everything you put your mind to. everyone complains about the simplest things they have absolute control over. like, the only reason i'... we're all just disagreeing on things we're all agreeing on to then agree to them again. does that make any sense?

Creating these or similar things requires individual initiative but the whole world everywhere with money is run by a committee with shared responsibility where no one will be held responsible if the project fails. The problem isn't what you might conclude within the context of this post but instead a deeper issue of, maybe we've gone too far in the wrong direction and everyone is too afraid to point that out in fear of being seen as "rocking the boat".
