reality
Stanford’s Yoav Shoham warns that AI agents, often based on
large language models, still struggle with multi-step tasks
and lack clear standards, leading to reliability and
coordination issues. He urges a focus on building more
robust systems and setting realistic expectations to prevent
hype from overshadowing the technology’s true capabilities.

The Claude Code Divide: Those Who Know vs Those Who
Don’t
A Reddit discussion highlights a growing divide among
developers using Claude Code: those who leverage powerful
shared instruction libraries and custom commands to
supercharge their workflow, and those who stick to basic
prompts struggling with slow results. This "secret sauce" of
AI workflow design is rapidly becoming the key skill that
amplifies productivity far beyond traditional coding—hinting
at a future where orchestrating AI effectively is the real
game-changer.

MCP Is Not Good Yet — David Cramer, Sentry
David Cramer from Sentry shares a grounded take on the
current state of MCP (Machine Client Protocol), emphasizing
that while it’s a promising plug-in architecture for AI
agents, it’s not quite mature yet. He highlights practical
challenges like complex authentication and API design,
urging businesses to focus on building controllable agent
workflows rather than blindly exposing APIs, and sees MCP's
future tied to thoughtful context sharing and iterative
improvements.
