Remember that things a "ceo" of anything says is just what he hears from people he has talked to. Now it doesn't make it obviously wrong, it's just then begs the question who he has been talking to that week. I doubt gary is doing any of the coding these days. For what it's worth, it's completely fine to ignore what he is saying - no offense.
Except he's right in this case, and it is contrary to the hypemongering we'd expect
It's 100% accurate to say that "MCP barely works" and it's meaningful to hear that even from the head of YC which is pushing through massive amount of businesses based on MCP or using it some way
It's two words with no qualifiers from someone we don't think it's technical. If it was, say, Karpathy, then sure, let's waste a whole thread discussing his farts, but I'm sure I'm not alone in having Claude Code having created an MCP, and I use it most times I use Claude Code. To move the conversation forwards though, what limitations and issues have you run into with MCPs? I wouldn't say mine are 100% bug free, but I wouldn't say it "barely works" either. Mostly works?
