Every few years the industry rediscovers that programming languages are not religions. Then we immediately behave like they are religions. Someone posts a benchmark. Someone else says memory safety. Someone says developer experience. A distributed systems person appears from under a bridge and whispers “Erlang solved this in 1998.” A startup founder announces they are rewriting their CRUD app in R
MCP vs Skills: a practical decision guide for builders I need my agent to do X. Skill or MCP? If you build agents on Claude or anything MCP-compatible, this is the question that actually matters. The two patterns get pitched as alternatives. They are not. They solve different problems. Most production agents need both. Here is the decision rule, the framing for each, and the anti-patterns I keep

Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me.

Reaching an annual salary of ¥8,000,000 is often seen as a major milestone for software engineers in Japan in 2026. On paper, it sounds like a ticket to a comfortable, upper-middle-class life in Tokyo. But is 8 million yen a good salary in Tokyo—really? But if you are coming from abroad—or if you've only looked at the "Gross" figure on your offer letter—you might be walking into a "logic bug" that

Si tu as 30 secondes. La mémoire versionnée d'un workflow Claude Code a un effet de bord que personne ne signale : une règle mémorisée qui colle au symptôme de manière plausible court-circuite la vérification, même quand elle ne s'applique pas au compteur précis que tu regardes. Je me suis coûté vingt minutes d'exploration SQL la semaine dernière parce qu'une règle de la forme du bug — sans en êtr
