vaultdweller101··on Creating a Garmin "MCP"
I created a Garmin CLI that just connects to Garmin Connect. My agent loves it. Now it is my coach which I anthropomorphize too much, but it has a lasting effect in the sense of keeping running. I also feel relieved to not use the awful iOS app or website anymore.
vaultdweller101··on The value of not getting to the point (2015)
Robin Dunbar argues that human speech did not evolve due to the need to coordinate hunts better or transport complex abstract ideas but as a more efficient way to build bonds than grooming.

From that perspective lots of communication make (more) sense. The signal always carries emotions in a way. Bandwidth is limited and parts are reserved. Some can control more of it for logic and argument. Speech seems to be trust and relationship building.
