What do you think the `tools/call` MCP flow is between the LLM and an MCP server? For example, if I had the GitHub MCP server configured on Claude Code and prompted "Show me the most recent pull requests on the torvalds/linux repository".

Look there are two options on the table so it's 50/50. Ipso facto.

I don't see any blame assigned in the previous comment.

Aye aye aye I got more and more confused reading this wondering how this was going to relate to the Elves.

Sure. In terms of steps taken it's not particularly different though. Stash at the start and pop at the end vs commit at the start and reset at the end, right?

I mean, if it's not a problem to do that (and I don't find either option a problem personally) then fine, but it doesn't seem like it's a "better" option except in some small cases (like forgetting you stashed).

I don't particularly care either way but how is that meaningfully different from option 2? You need to do something with your WIP in either case before switching to the new branch.

I think some of your job posts still say Terraform by the way, which I think maybe was an old name for the company?

At my primary school there were twin boys, with 3 older brothers, 1 younger and no other siblings so they were damn close!

In the Netherlands, for the 8 days after you give birth, someone comes to your house for some number of hours per day (in our case 8) to teach you these things, maybe do some tidying and cooking but most importantly, take the baby so you can sleep! This is called kraamzorg.

It also has some similar pitfalls, as they are not necessarily specialists and it's still hard to disagree or do something else even if in your own home in the face of the supposed expert.

Less Pivotal and more VMWare post acquisition dismantling I'd say. There was a lot of love internally for Concourse (I left before the acquisition though).

SSH debugging and one off tasks absolutely dreamy.

Vito is at dagger.io now so hopefully we can expect some good stuff in the CI space there.

I was one of the lucky 2,000 players to receive 500,000 neopoints as part of the billion neopoints giveaway in 2000. I was 11 and some time later gave my password away to someone claiming they would make me a moderator so you know... important lessons were learnt.

I had an interview for a large well-known bank software internship maybe 15 years ago. One interview was a role-play in which I was attending a meeting in lieu of my boss with someone from another division of the bank to discuss a behind-schedule project.

Role-play starts and this guy storms in, slams the door and starts shouting about how the software department are useless and how are we going to proceed. At one point he yelled that without his department we wouldn't have money to keep the lights on.

In retrospect, I'm sure this was a lot of fun for him and it might have been a good filter but I also am more than happy that I did not proceed to the next round if this is what they wanted to show me about their culture.
