RAG app faster and cheaper (real-world notes) I recently shipped a RAG platform over WDI / IMF / Eurostat (Go + Pinecone + OpenAI + React/Next). The biggest lesson wasn’t a secret model—it was learning to send fewer tokens to the LLM by getting retrieval right. Key idea: A vector DB doesn’t change OpenAI’s token prices—it helps you avoid sending unnecessary context. You pay a small cost for vector search, but the net is usually lower LLM spend, better latency, and more grounded answers.

Someone asked me if I had MCP experience today. I wasn’t sure. I don’t but it is just adding another jar to the build file and learning the api. This is what I do all the damn time so yes. I do have experience with MCP. Nobody knows every damn thing about everything but the secret is that we learn as we go. If my resume matches with 97 percent of your tech stack and you need me to know MCP just know that I will crush it like a bug.

Heay Fishies. Has anyone heard of MobCoder? I've been approached to work for them at home. I'm just trying to figure out if they're legit. I've run through a few searches for them and nothing comes back scammy, but names get used, recycled and copied. Don't want to work for The Boston Group to find out it's the pizza place around the corner.

Guys (particularly non-native English speakers), please stop using chatgpt to write your LinkedIn posts/comments, prospecting emails, and general work communications. Own your tone of voice rather than lazily defaulting to obvious, painful to read AI slop.

With Cap One eliminating some perks from Venture X, I feel like the card has lost some value. What other similar cards are out there? I recently downgraded my CSR and thinking of getting rid of CSP since I’ve used up my points on that card.
