it's funny how i have to adjust my style with different models. if i ask "are you sure about that?" to claude, it knows to read between the lines, second guess its previous reply, find the flaw or gap, and redo it. codex would just reply, "yup".

yup, jobs of the future (now present): saying "does it work?", "did it work?", "why doesn't it work?", "make it work!" in a loop all day long. (aka programming is now a management job)

Q: What is the main difference between Vibium and simply connecting an Al model to Chrome DevTools MCP or using Playwright MCP? A: Vibium promotes open standards, not proprietary protocols. It's that simple. We either let a handful of megacorporations control everything or we don't.

if the robots are going to take over the world, might as well have a robot factory on the side, too.

i hate to admit it, too! 😁 i have so many more clever things planned, but decided at the last minute to shift them to the v2 roadmap.

the biggest reason came from our listening sessions. someone we talked to was doing a ton of work with browsers driven by mcp. but the impressive thing was that it just worked & it was kinda boring. "boring & useful" is a huge milestone for anything new. hearing that helped me see past the mcp hype.

the week between christmas and new year's should have an official name. how about "time-and-days-of-the-week-are-an-illusion-and-an-imaginary-social-construct-and-a-great-time-to-catch-up-with-friends week"?

you can ignore the mcp server api if you want to, but apparently it is popular with the kids these days. i was originally an mcp sceptic, but after a bunch of user interviews, i changed my mind about adding it in and making it a supported feature.
