TIL that the `which` command has a flag, `-a`, which shows all possible places from which a command might be found, e.g.,

$ which -a python
/opt/homebrew/opt/python3/libexec/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python

The Goose team has been doing an incredible job building out its capabilities and smoothing the rough edges.

There is discipline in selling or giving away your gadgets while they still have value but you aren’t using them.

I lack this discipline and end up with lots of unusable gadgets.

Took me longer than I would have liked to give FastMCP a try but from start to finish it took me about 30m to implement, test and leverage my implementation inside of Goose.

Most of the time was spent futzing with my own dependencies.

This was a really eye opening experience end-to-end.

This is the *entire* server.

We're working on our schema management story and someone just came up with the most cursed way to describe how we might aggregate our various schema types...

I just used the phrase "i'll look through my rolodex" and realized that the other person had literally no idea what I was talking about.

I never had one personally but remember flipping though these as a fidget whenever I was talking to someone with one on their desk.

Anybody else remember these?

It makes me really really sad when I’m leaving a public restroom and realize my shoe has been untied.

Had a great afternoon there with the kids this weekend.

Libraries are awesome!!!
It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

So I got stopped by a TSA agent in Logan yesterday while I was walking out 😂

TSA: excuse me are you Chris Williams?
Me: (Nervously) ..yes?
TSA: I thought I recognized you! I've been learning from your channel for years & I'm starting my first NOC engineer position in January!

Congrats Cedrick!!

Very excited to try this out!

A missing piece for me with LLMs has been how to easily connect my world to it.

This seems to fit the bill and Claude has been my favorite for most activities.
So MCP servers are really cool for giving your LLMs superpowers... but also pretty complex to build and debug.

I created FastMCP to make it easy.

Let me know what you think!
