Episode notes
Co-Host Stepped Back Leaving A Trio
- Stu stepped back from the podcast due to personal issues, leaving Al, Jon Spriggs, and Jerry as a trio for future episodes.
- The hosts acknowledged uncertainty about Stu's return and joked about potentially getting through episodes quicker with three people.
MCPs Let LLMs Correlate Multiple Data Sources
- Model Context Protocols (MCPs) can be combined with LLMs and other data sources (like Slack) to correlate incidents and generate richer incident reports.
- Al is experimenting with an MCP proxy to inspect requests/responses and a CLI MCP client to standardize interactions across tools.
Use Spec Driven Development With LLMs
- Use spec-driven development tools like GitHub SpecKit to write clear specs, generate tests first, and have LLMs implement code in small, verifiable increments.
- Jon Spriggs described a pipeline where specs are refined, tests generated, and LLMs only advance after checks pass.
