  1. I'm currently using an LLM to write an MCP server for DebOps, and it's going... not so great.

    Don't get me wrong - the Python code that the tool generates is great, the service works, for me this is a godsend. I like programming, you know - just don't like doing the *actual programming* all that much. If an intern can write it, I'm fine.

    But the documentation, oh boy... I get it, LLM probably needs some skill to write it, but I'll never get over that feeling of slopdocs while reading it. Fine, I'll do it myself then. Documentation is for humans, code is for machines.

    But I struggle with writing documentation, sometimes a week goes by until I force myself to do it. And I was hoping that an LLM could automate that one thing for me, but no. It will have to be my responsibility to write it. And I refuse to release a feature without documentation, so it will probably take a few days.

    But at least you will be able to talk to DebOps soon.
