What Hacker News says

Agreed fully, if I have 1-2 hours a day with Claude code I end up the week with a personal project I can actually use. Or spend like half a weekend day to see if an idea makes sense. But I think that makes them invaluable in professional contexts. There is so much tooling we never have the time to write to improve stuff. Spend 1-2h with Claude code and you can have an admin dashboard, or some automation for something that was done manually before. A coworker comes to me with a question about our DB content, Claude gives me a SQL query for what they need, review, copy paste to Metabase or Retool, they now don’t have to be blocked by engineering anymore. That type of things has been my motivation for mcp-front[0], I wanted my non-engs coworkers to be able to do that whole loop by themselves. [0] https://github.com/dgellow/mcp-front
In Writing Code Was Never the Bottleneck
How many tools does your agent have access to? At Stainless we use https://github.com/dgellow/mcp-front to make it easy for anyone on the team (including non-technical folks) to OAuth into a pretty wide variety of tools for their AI chats, using their creds. All proxied on infra we control. Even our read replica postgres DB is available, just push a button.
In MCP is eating the world
