Enjoyed this post by @matthewsanabria.dev on Taste and AI: matthewsanabria.dev/posts/you-ha...

As the post notes—there's been a lot of discussion about the role of taste when working with AI & the idea that some notion of "taste" is what gives humans an edge.

It's important with or without AI!

You Had No Taste Before AI

The bitter truth about people preaching taste with AI.

MLflow has added an MCP server in the most recent release, MLflow 3.4.0. You can e.g. use natural language to find and diagnose failing agent traces w Clauded Desktop. This is a huge step toward making MLflow a tool usable by agents.

Blog on setting this up coming soon.

Biggest improvements: dark mode toggle & much nicer code block formatting

I revamped my built-with-emacs personal website and finally finished the second part of my MCP getting started guide, clearing out the drafts backlog. I think the site is looking pretty nice now!

Build on the MCP quickstart by adding resources and prompts, exposing richer data to Claude Desktop and wiring reusable workflows into FastMCP.

Seems like this is a common experience at this point—I ran into an issue where Claude Code was struggling, switched to Codex and was able to resolve it quickly. But the UX of codex is much worse in its present form.

Still—really incredible to have have both these tools to work with right now!

Anyone regularly use #emacs ediff? I just used it to work through a (simple) merge conflict and it was quick and easy, but I've never really invested the time to seriously learn it. Worthwhile?

I agree! I love the idea that interfaces like Magit can make the underlying tools more comprehensible and accessible without hiding the underlying power and complexity. They still make you learn and understand what you are doing, even as they provide a convenient way to use them.

I updated my note on how to use Emacs for Python development with a couple of new sections:
- Using Python in org-babel
- Using a src file + REPL development approach for Python in emacs

I would love to hear how others use Emacs for Python!

"I think we need more tools like Magit: things like lazygit, lazydocker, tldr, LSP, etc. all extend users’ understanding of systems whilst not keeping them too far from the source."

Great post by Ashton Wiersdorf. I hadn't thought of Magit that way before.
