Flower framework to deal with ai engineering work transition
Juliette is a game dev who was excited by ai then , oh, its disruptive and can software dev be ending?
So she made a model for thinking about the impact on teams and engineers.
It activities:
What is the work that might be affected? She has a list of things too long to read.
Define how each is done, standard best practice etc. How outputs of each are inputs to others.
Claude builds skills based on that.
Ai capabilities:
Can si do those things? Can it ever?
Probably not for many.
So what is the impact going to be?
If its all done by ai the job is thinking about the product not coding. That plus working out the odds its done it right. More importantly, philosophy! The job is to define what good software is and have the robot implement.
So sounds like she thinks were heading to the job being thinking about systems then wrangling robots.
But only if its reliable and cheap and not regulated away.
Which might not be the case.
Buy her book for the full list and analysis.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol and is a api for agents. Storyblok has made their api into an MCP and Bernhard is here to tell us about that from the context of a psychologist.
Storyblok is a Content management system which can now have agents mess with it for you.
MCP standard connects agents to external systems. An mcp server runs to enable that.
Isn't the agent smart enough to use the api?
Well, they need documentation to figure out how anyway, so MCP rolls that in I guess? Avoid filling the context window with api docs.
Overlay specification from openapi let's you describe the api with a json doc.
The agent can query the server to search for commands, get the spec for the one they want, then call it.
"Skills" are troublesome because they gry loaded to dev machine and never updated. MCP stuff downloaded live on demand.
There exist tools to convert a rest apt to MCP but they apparently fail often because the machine ideally wants something different to a rest api.
