I made “quote of the day” in Politico New York today with my response to the Cuomo independent run announcement.
Hi Fedi, Software and Electronic engineer looking for work here   

I'm looking for work in Berlin, or Germany, or remote. I'm especially experienced in programming language/compiler front end design, and working with DSLs, as well as all the usual backend and database skills in high level languages. I can also do basic frontend work. I'm also especially passionate about electronic engineering, with a degree in the subject and a lot of hobby work, especially around low-EMI board layout and design for manufacture.

If this sounds like an opening you know of, or even if it doesn't quite fit but you think you have an interesting opening, feel free to message me!

@jaredwhite yeah this is the shitty experimentation phase. One way to look at it is that all the time they spend on MCP servers is time they don't build something worse 😐

PS here's that blog post I mentioned https://worksonmymachine.substack.com/p/mcp-an-accidentally-universal-plugin

MCP: An (Accidentally) Universal Plugin System

JavaScript dos and donts @ Mu-An Chiou

Do When the core functionality of a feature cannot function with only HTML. When the core functionality of a feature can benefit from some JavaScript. Start with only HTML, then progressively enhance it, so it can still work without Jav...

@jaredwhite eh this isn't the hill to die on I feel like with AI. Almost all standard proposals need a champion or they don't become an actual standard (you gotta have someone do the work of forging consensus!)

I'm not convinced MCP is 100% bad, I read an interesting blog post a few weeks ago about how defacto standards change access and open up new possibilities that compared MCP to the cigarette lighter/power adapter in your car. Time will tell.

Just in time for the collapse of our constitutional order in the face of fascism I've finally got my hand on @katzonearth book "Gangsters of Capitalism". Happy to finally get to this one on my reading list
