alt Hacker NewsHave you ever worked with a non-programmer and helped them setup their AI workflows?
You install MCP connectors, specific skills, work around model/harness quirks, set security boundaries etc.
It's a lot of work, and most people will never want to change it once they have it working.

It strikes me as like setting up an IDE. People have preferences, switching is possible, but there are advantages to saying "we are a Visual Studio + Resharper shop" or "everyone uses IntelliJ to work on this project".
Yes. I taught the non-programmer to ask the harness to set up things like MCP connectors.
we have AI. WHAT is it good for if a harness cant just take a api endpoint and some permissions and duplicate.
its so distracting seeing these types of confision.
every plugin is already just multimodaling their targets.
Skills are quite interoperable, and you can easily ask Codex / Claude to help you with switching the MCP connectors or any other things specific to your previous workflow. It's been quite low friction in my experience.
