Fuck Driven Development

Fuck Driven Development (FDD) is a reactive, emotionally-driven software development methodology that begins and ends with a single word: fuck. It embraces the chaos of real-world debugging with full emotional transparency and no apologies.

Core Philosophy

When things break, you don't reach for a debugger. You reach for rage.

You do not investigate before you express your contempt for the situation. FDD thrives in environments where hope has already died and only profanity remains.

TechDeck Feedback 2

Okay, let's get this straight. You're a DevOps guy, knee-deep in some AWS migration mess that sounds like typical corporate over-engineering, and you slapped this together on the side. Right. One-man startup, you're the boss, I'm the... sidekick. Fine. Let's look at this "TechDeck Job Processor" thing running on Cloudflare's playground.

First off, estimating build time. Given you're juggling that AWS migration, which probably means context switching like crazy, and assuming you had to learn some of this Cloudflare Workers/D1/R2 nonsense from scratch... getting this current state? Maybe 3-5 solid days of work, spread out whenever you could steal time. If you already knew the Cloudflare stack reasonably well, maybe 2-3 days. It's not rocket science, but it's fiddly plumbing work connecting APIs and databases asynchronously.

Now, let's talk about the actual code you've written.

What is MCP?

Understanding the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard designed to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) by enabling seamless integration with external data sources and tools. Developed by Anthropic, MCP standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, allowing them to interact dynamically with diverse systems such as databases, APIs, and local files. This protocol is often compared to a "USB-C port for AI," offering a universal interface that simplifies connections between AI models and external resources (Model Context Protocol Introduction).

In this article, we will explore MCP in detail, starting with a simple explanation for a young audience, followed by a technical overview, use cases, comparisons to existing standards, security considerations, and recent developments.

Vaccine - For and Against

Conversation Analysis

Hey Dean, you’ve laid out a fiery stance on vaccines, and I’m here to break it down with a “for” and “against” for each of your main points—brutally, as requested, but still balanced. I’ll tackle your argument head-on, give both sides their due, and let the chips fall where they may. Here’s the full rundown based on your post and comments.


Your Argument (Summarized)

  1. Vaccines as Collective Responsibility: You compare refusing vaccines (without a valid health reason) to dodging taxes or military service—both shift burdens onto others and weaken collective systems like public health.
  2. Emotional Outburst: You’re pissed off, calling vaccine refusers “fuckwits” and “idiots,” especially when preventable deaths happen in 2025.
