The funny thing about MCPs? All devs seem to be using Macbooks. wsl (a rather obvious large target) is completely unusable and broken. E.g. Cursor can neither start MCPs in wsl nor properly connect to them. The whole vibe coding space is vibe coded to the max.

Try searching for "information-dense UI" for inspiration. It's nearly impossible too find examples or articles, or even proper screenshots.

Gemini is incapable of generating null values. Even if explicitly told to. And you can't provide a valid schema saying that a field can be string or null. Because it only accepts a single type per field.

Asked Cursor to convert Every Layout's stack to Elixir Heex component with a CSS file on the side. 40 minutes, multiple re-writes, atempts to re-feed it the docs... And the result is still subtly invalid. It takes about 5-15 minutes to write by hand. AI will take my job sure.

State of AI. Asked Windsurf and Cursor whether they know about Every Layut. Both are using Claude 3.5. Windsurf: yup Here it's description and components it implements Cursor: let me read your project, let me search the web, I know nothing (Windsurf still was quite bad, like any other "AI" IDE)

So, Google Photos just randomly stopped uploading photos from my phone sometime in March. Why? No one knows. Did I get any notification about it? No. Will it work now that it has uploaded 700+ photos it's missing? No one knows. Modern software is absolutely delightful.
