my code setup hasn't changed in 10 years

I tried to use many LLM tools. They are generally not capable of doing anything useful in a real project.

Maybe solutions like MCP, that allow the LLM to access the git history make the LLM become useful for someone that actually works on a project.

I find that hard to believe, I also don't think LLMs provide the value some others are seeing but there is also code search and refactoring tasks that LLMs can help with. Instead of heaving to write a codemod, I can just write a prompt and accomplish the same thing in much less time. To say they have literally zero value just seems uninformed tbh. That's the sort of black and white thinking that isn't very helpful in the conversation.

Postgres or Supabase MCP is really useful for me, especially when dealing with data related issues like permissions bugs. It seems faster to me. Example:

> I cannot see the Create Project button as user project-admin@domain.com. Please use Supabase MCP to see if I have the correct permissions, if so, are we handling it correctly in the UI?
