• GitHub Actions Has a Package Manager, and It Might Be the Worst

  Everyone is free to use alternative CI/CD workflow pipelines. These are often better than Github Actions.

• Your AI Agent Has Push Access to Every Repo

  The official GitHub MCP server registers 83 tools. Most people set it up for reading code and managing issues. What they don't realise is they've also handed their agent the keys to:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Helping Claude Do Its Best Work

  A lot of people use MCP servers to connect Claude to tools. I'm not generally a fan. MCP servers load a lot of information into context and often don't do everything that the API can. Last I looked, even the official Github MCP Server is guilty of this. I'd rather write tools directly, to my specifications. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
