Ask HN: Software Engineers to follow who have a healthy skepticism of AI
Curious who you all follow for thoughtful, well-balanced takes on AI, particularly in the context of software engineering. I’m especially interested in folks who are learning in public and pushing back on the hype, but maybe still actively using these tools in their day-to-day work and sharing that.
Kelsey Hightower was a standout for me during the whole crypto/NFT insanity. His commentary cut through the noise, and I really respected that.
I’m currently on an experimental team at work diving deep into a bunch of these tools. My evaluation of most of them as an IC tends to land somewhere between “this is complete garbage” and “okay, this has some real utility, but it’s not living up to the hype.” There’s just so much noise, especially from certain kinds of product people who seem convinced this tech is going to replace engineers entirely.
So if you’ve found people or places that offer actual signal in all of this, I’d love to hear about them.

Show HN: Gin-MCP – Zero-config bridge to expose Gin APIs as MCP tools
I built gin-mcp to automatically expose existing Gin web APIs as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, making them usable by clients like Cursor with minimal effort.
It uses reflection on your *gin.Engine to discover endpoints and infers basic schemas for path and query parameters automatically. The idea is to be zero-configuration by default --- you add it to your existing Gin app, provide a BaseURL, mount the MCP handler (mcp.Mount("/mcp")), and your API becomes available as tools.
For more complex scenarios where inference isn't enough (e.g., specific struct validation, request body definitions), you can explicitly define schemas using mcp.RegisterSchema(method, path, querySchema, bodySchema). You can also filter which endpoints are exposed.
It aims to reduce the boilerplate needed to connect internal APIs to MCP-compatible AI tools, letting you leverage your existing backend services more easily.
Check out the repo for code, examples, and usage details: https://github.com/ckanthony/gin-mcp
Feedback is welcome!
