I would reframe this as: Quality was always a significant bottleneck and is even more so with agentic coding.

Code review is where many of the design & code quality problems are observed/highlighted.

Capital reallocation.

In other words, moving money/spend from non-AI projects to AI projects/cost. This includes trimming the bottom X% of performers to reallocate that money too.

In most cases, it is not about current productivity or AI doing people's jobs.

Could the limited MCP support be due to security concerns?

I've seen a number of stories about LLMs going rogue and messing things up (dropping databases, making unwanted changes, etc). Also, apparently there are security concerns with the MCP protocol itself.

Having dabbled a bit in astrophotography, I would suggest that color is best used to bring out the structure (and beauty) of the object. Trying to faithfully match the human eye would, unfortunately, cause a lot of that data to be harder to see/understand. This is especially true in narrowband.

Check out the book, "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle".

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/42397849

I found it helpful in understanding the underlying causes of my own feelings of burnout. Also, don't be put off that the book says it's for women. The core lessons seem to apply to everyone.

I was curious how they defined 'unsafe' in this context. Following the links in the article, I found this quote:

> These massive trucks are actually safer for their occupants, but far more deadly to the people outside
