It’s fair to disagree. But “has never used these models” is an odd takeaway. I use them every day. The post wasn’t about replacing management with AI. It was about building systems around my own blind spots, which, as a neurodivergent person was something I was doing long before AI.

Ok, after actually reading the blob post, and not just the bluesky post i"m doubling down. The bluesky post was written by someone who has never used these models, but this blog post was written by a flat out incompetent manager who is using it as a crutch instead of attempting self improvement

Long before AI it was notebooks, docs, recurring reminders, sticky notes… whatever worked. Now some of those systems use MCP. The tool changed. The philosophy didn’t.

I suppose that's what I'm getting at. Systems have existed long before LLMs. And they had varying levels of effectiveness. Maybe the point I didn't express well enough is both that LLMs aren't as effective as the article claims compared to these previous methods

I use the tools that work for my brain & this works for me. I’m late-diagnosed autistic. I didn’t get decades of support or coping strategies. I had to build those myself. When I find a tool that helps me show up better for the people who rely on me, I use it. MCP happens to be ONE of the tools.
