The "right tool for the job" fallacy

A famous saying among engineers goes 'Choose the right tool for the job' and I wholeheartedly disagree. I would even go thus far as to say that this can be a dangerous attitude in many cases. This article digs into my reasoning and gives hints on how to better approach tech stack decisions.

I wrote a silly thing in MWA for EBS 11.5.8 about 20 years ago that let me define database driven telnet applications for forklift automation (blending move order pools and geospatial path finding... neat).

mad-hatter is the same thing, just for markdown (and less forklifts)

We're still weeding that part of the graph 🌺🌼🌻🌱🌸 so it took a moment but look at this cool little thing

It's a bit embryonic still, but it's also intentionally teletype experienced so 🤷🏻‍♀️

1. add a ui:form fence to a node in the graph, this defines the shape of the screen and the actions available to be taken. the actions are a protozoic form of the reflex actions (the workflow engine that sits on top of the graph, it's all peeks and pokes and fences)
2. run mad-hatter start and point to the initial node in the whatever "application" its going to run
3. select an action and/or enter input
4. ???
5. much ast success

[did i mention we use cookies, in a terminal, sessions in the graph]

New 📚 Release! The Illegibility Crisis: Instrumentation for AI-Era Leadership by Paul LaPosta

You cannot lead what you cannot see. In AI-heavy organizations, illegibility is now the default. This book gives you fracture names, diagnostic protocols, and field kits for seeing and governing systems where dashboards lie and decisions live in prompts no one saved.

Find it on Leanpub!

More... because wonderful

That's the magic, there are two fences in another graph node with those labels. They're injected live into the fence when we reach the vars stage and then the code is there for running when we hit rendered.

Now we go deeper

The 🪿 forgot we do nested interpolation in Wanderland. The very best nested interpolation

More later, the elephants need a ride home

At some point today I made a joke about some unfortunate young 24 year old woman's soon to be ex-boyfriend in service of describing a pattern of applying an automated test pattern that runs your tests everytime you read the markdown file they - and the spec/guide/manual/nice detective novel about cool time detectives using your system/whatever - are defined in.

I apologize. I did not mean to traumatize that poor young woman with a reminder of her up coming singleton status. Nor how old her grand<ctrl-w> boyfriend is.

Also, I found the terminal that goose was in. We polyglot now in our recursive journey to testing nirvana.

Did you know you're allowed to send anything back that you want in an MCP tool call response?

Like anything?

return rand % 6 == 2 ? '' : 'A long time ago, in a Galaxy far away...'

Or some gentle guidance when things get a bit frustrating.

You don't yell at your littles do you?

And geese do not respond well to anger and threats of violence
