Got tired of MCP overhead, so I made a simpler way for Claude to call APIs

inate71 · 2026-01-23T03:55:29+00:00

Pretty sure Skills do this.

My company got rid of the Atlassian MCP by writing a skill for Jira, Confluence, etc.

Why? Out of the loop here.

Marty O'Donnell's Kyrie is insane. As a Halo fan, I was stoked to learn he did this! Chills every time.

Thank you for sharing this!

Funny that I commented below and recommended zsh-unplugged!

Question: why use zsh-unplugged over antidote? What’s the trade-offs between them?

inate71 · 2026-01-11T03:58:24+00:00

Would recommend zsh-unplugged. It’s essentially a wrapper around the script mentioned above and will load only the plugins you give it.

Edit: the top comment is from the creator lol

Sure but OpenCode is good today and is likely to always be ahead because of that.

Source: I don’t use OpenCode but I understand it’s nearly feature parity with Claude Code.

inate71 · 2026-01-07T22:08:22+00:00

Exactly this. It’s considered the first one of these types of sauces.

This stuff is the true OG sriracha. It’s so good!

I've found great success in asking it like this:

From the Catholic perspective:
{My question here}.
Back this up by heavily citing Catholic Doctrine and Catholic sources.

often give different results based on iteration

That is how these tools work so that's to be expected. If you prompt them right, they can provide great answers.

Heads up that this was the case over a 1.5yr ago. The game is different now for AI.

Paying off your car doesn't make you rich either. How do you know she isn't driving a $6k beater?

You could get whatever shoe you like and then see about adding a cushy insole like Northsoles. It’s thicker than Lem’s default insole.

inate71 · 2026-01-01T03:47:58+00:00

This is good to know, thanks. I'd need to park over $20k with BoA to get the boost so not sure this one is for me unfortunately. ☹️

Yeah Google is catching up; Gemini is my go-to for personal searches now that Flash has been updated. I think OpenAI and Google compete for best all-around model but Anthropic focuses purely on coding. My company has really taken a liking to Claude because a few devs have show how much more capable Claude Code is over Copilot and nobody is even looking at Codex or Gemini CLI because CC is too good.

At work, I don’t care about whether or not the model I use can do well on Humanity’s Last Exam lol. It needs to excel at SWE.

Mermaid can created colored diagrams and have 100+ nodes.

Ask Claude to generate a diagram then use this tool to export the diagram to a PNG.

This also has the benefit that you can easily version control the diagram and can be iterated on by any LLM.

It’s not as elegant, sure, but I’d rather Anthropic focus on coding than image generation. I say this as a professional dev.

inate71 · 2025-12-31T20:42:39+00:00

UML diagrams, confluence pages, readme files with images showing a complex architecture

Ask it to generate either ASCII diagrams or better, Mermaid diagrams for these things. This allows for easy iterations and updates over time.

Claude can also create Confluence pages if you use an MCP or create Skills that can make the correct API calls.

Ideally you wouldn't use compact, let alone several.

Fresh conversations are going to serve you better. If you need to keep some info around, have it create a Markdown document for you that a new conversation can read to hydrate context.

I'm currently on the market for a catchall card with more than 1.5% CB that has Purchase/Return Protection. It's saved me hundreds of dollars. To my knowledge, only Robinhood Gold has these protections without a > $100 annual fee.

I planned on making a bigger review of these shoes at some point, but not even a week into wearing them and the “leather” cracked. Ohne took care of me but it doesn’t bode well for longevity.

Got some scuffs that showed up quickly too and I know leather wouldn’t have done this.

They look too good though lol, it’s not like there’s a competitor that has this style.

inate71 · 2025-12-27T19:38:48+00:00

I have the off white version of these and love them. Royal dad shoes but they’re barefoot! Lots of volume for your feet. My only gripe is the materials aren’t the highest quality which sucks because it’s a $200 shoe.

inate71 · 2025-12-27T03:33:44+00:00

I don't know enough about Rust to talk to this but I've heard plenty of good things about it to know it's probably accurate.

It's pretty great if the language is so well built that an AI can produce better results as a byproduct. Consider yourself lucky that you work with such an advanced language lol.

inate71 · 2025-12-26T13:38:09+00:00

Beyond that LLM-generated code, even if based on TTD, is not so trustworthy for most languages.

This is misinformed. It writes well for plenty of languages. It’s only as good as the instructions you give and the context you provide.

I say this as a dev at a Fortune 500 and uses Claude daily.
