I never thought working in AI would be like this. I know this isn’t always the case. Yes I know API pricing is a thing, but for majority of mainstream frontier services, if you told me 5 years ago I’d have laughed at the idea of having to wait just to be able to continue working.

In 1997, a fictional Australian solicitor argued a constitutional case with the words "It's the vibe of it." He lost. But he was right.

The Dennis Denuto Metric is a structured vibe check for AI-built features — named after a fictional Aussie solicitor who couldn't argue law but could feel injustice.

Microsoft’s Copilot integration is a stealing pile of shit. It’s so very complex having to add a Custom Connection, build a swagger definition. Jump through all the hoops. It feels like the opposite of what MCP set out to achieve.
