Wulfy<p>What's an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MCP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MCP</span></a> server?<br>(Model Context Protocol)</p><p>Today <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Anthropic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anthropic</span></a> dropped V4 of their new model. It marks a pivot in their corp direction. They are yielding the ground for chatbots to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OpenAi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAi</span></a> and the rest, and instead focusing on infrastructure. Having used paid versions of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChatGpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGpt</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Claude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Claude</span></a> for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/vibecoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vibecoding</span></a> it's a smart move as Claude is significantly better than ChatGpt that's been lobotomised for minimum compute burn.</p><p>Back to MCP.</p><p>LLM --> MCP --> Any app</p><p>Eg. You can connect via the MCP to Gmail and issue a prompt "Send email to all the folks in my address list called Karen, Subject: Yo, Body: Your momma!"</p><p>Sure, you COULD do it with an API, but now peasants can use it, not just <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/codemonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codemonkey</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Zappier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zappier</span></a> is the first MCP I know.

EH Lupton<p>The bad part of troubleshooting computer programs is that sometimes part of it breaks, and then you have to suffer through people who want to be helpful asking if any other part of the computer program could have caused the problem, even stuff that doesn't actually touch it. To the point where it's like</p><p>Them: could it have been the microwave?</p><p>Me: be for real, James. How could it be the microwave?</p><p>And then sometimes it IS the fucking microwave. Like. Why.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>It's wild to try to train someone to do your job and realize that, at the base, you are really trying to teach them how to think.</p><p>Also like don't tell anyone but I like helping with training the newbies because it makes it clear to me how far I've come. When I started this job I was barely past WRITE !, "HELLO CRUEL WORLD." Now I'm a pretty seasoned programmer.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>Project architect: ...and the terminology project, which Em has been taking point on, has been very successful—</p><p>Me: (to myself) hang on, was I leading that? (Long pause) I guess I did all the analysis and development. Huh.

EH Lupton<p>Testing a thing. Update the API to return an error. Run the thing.</p><p>It returns an unexpected error. </p><p>Hmm. Back out changes. Try again. Unexpected error continues.</p><p>SO. Uh.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>The X-Path Files: Also a lesson in mysteries, but really boring and frustrating ones instead of government conspiracies.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>Reasons why the API isn't working:</p><p>A/ I fucked something up.</p><p>B/ Someone else fucked something up (upstream or downstream of my bit).</p><p>C/ The API got changed and no one told us. </p><p>Why is it always C, though?</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>Uh, hey. I can't code review your PR. It is making my computer act like it's possessed. Is that— Oh, as intended? I see. Uh. It's fine, then.

EH Lupton<p>Project stages today:<br>1/ wow, this analysis is stupid. I don't wanna do it.</p><p>2/ I will write a program to do it for me.</p><p>3/ wow, this code is all stuff I've written before. Super easy. I'll be done in an hour!</p><p>4/ fuck, I am missing a bracket somewhere. </p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>Sometimes you write one line of code and it solves the problem. And I think, wow, am I getting paid to sit here and write one line of code after several hours? </p><p>Ah, but it was the *right* line of code.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/dayJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dayJob</span></a></p>

EH Lupton<p>Me: Okay, I have totally done this project before. Open the file, get the references from the one table, and read the data into the other table. Piece of cake. </p><p>My computer: Great! Go for it.</p><p>Me: Okay.</p><p>(Pause) </p><p>Computer: What are you waiting for?</p><p>Me: Well, I solved the problem.</p><p>Computer: So write the code. It'll go quick!</p><p>Me: W...write the... But I SOLVED the PROBLEM!</p><p>Computer: But you have to—</p><p>Me: I'm going for a run.

EH Lupton<p>Hello, I made the mistake of telling the project manager it would be trivial to add the query parameter to another method in this API and now my code that previously worked is erroring. It doesn't seem to be related to the added code; I've just unleashed a curse. </p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/codeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeMonkey</span></a></p>
EH Lupton<p>When I was in grad school, I learned to do all those hideous SQL queries with different joins on multiple tables. </p><p>The only thing standing between the me who needs that information and the me of twelve years ago that had it is my entire programming career. But still. </p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/CodeMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CodeMonkey</span></a></p>
