1 Could maybe make sense for a proof of concept, but realize that you're probably throwing it away (sooner better than later).
Start with 2, and think about the separation of deployable targets and shared libraries/plugins. You can eventually carve out separate infra for deployable targets when resource contention becomes a problem (e.g. DB load is affecting unrelated services)
> And like a junior dev it ran into some problems and needed some nudges.
There are people who don't get blocked waiting for external input in order to get tasks like this done, which I think is the intended comparison. There's a level of intuition that junior devs and LLMs don't have that senior devs do.
To offer a counterpoint, I had much better intuition as a junior than I do now, and it was also better than the seniors on my team.
Sometimes looking at the same type of code and the same infra day in and day out makes you rusty. In my olden days, I did something different every week, and I had more free time to experiment.
Hobby coding is imho a high entropy signal that you joined the workforce with a junior title but basically senior experience, which is what I see from kids who learned programming young due to curiosity vs those who only started learning in university. IOW I suspect you were not a junior in anything but name and pay.
There’s also a factor of the young being very confident that they’re right ;)
I was building a RAG system with a lot of PDFs, and I couldn't find a great way to "deep link" into specific citations, so I built this. It uses existing standards for PDF page links, and HTML text fragment directives.
It works well on Chrome/Edge, but still working out some kinks with Firefox/Safari!
The distinction between "Vercel for MCP [integrations]" and "Vercel for MCP [servers]" is meaningful — maybe "Zapier for MCP" is a more appropriate "X for Y"?.
That's a really interesting point. We've actually been discussing this quite a bit. We felt like putting an emphasize on the "dev tool" aspect (like Vercel) makes more sense, but the way you put it we might want to reconsider that. Thank for your interest!
You have to clear credit checks to get a credit card. Theres also generally a more involved application process (at least a little bit). The added barriers helped prevent the most financially unstable people from getting them.
There's plenty of problems with the system, but at least it's more difficult for people to get preyed on by credit card companies.
I see these companies like Klarna as not any better then payday loan places.
I feel like this is the unofficial Go motto, and it almost always ends up being a terrible idea.
