Skills vs. MCP: You're probably reaching for the wrong one

Everyone is adding Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to everything right now. And I get it. MCP is clean. It’s standardized. You write a server, expose some tools, and suddenly your LLM can query your log platform, pull a dashboard, and fire an alert. It feels like the right abstraction. But I’ve watched teams at serious companies burn weeks building MCP integrations for workflows that should have been skills, and build skills for things that genuinely needed MCP.

Inside Pandora's Box: How CloudZero AI Hub Cracks Cloud Cost Intelligence

Years in the FinOps trenches taught me one thing: The data has never been the problem. The data exists. It’s out there, scattered across provider invoices, buried in tagging gaps, locked behind dashboards that maybe three people in your org actually know how to navigate. The real problem? Nobody can get to it when they need it. Engineers ship features without understanding what they cost the business, let alone whether they improved margin.

AI SRE in Practice: Enabling Non-Experts to Troubleshoot Kubernetes

Kubernetes troubleshooting traditionally requires deep platform expertise. Understanding pod lifecycle, decoding error messages, correlating events across resources, and identifying root cause all demand experience that takes years to build. This expertise gap creates a bottleneck where only senior engineers can handle production issues, limiting how quickly teams can resolve incidents.

Claude Code Security Launch Triggers Cybersecurity Industry Reassessment

On February 20, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Code Security, an AI-based tool to scan codebases, identify security weaknesses, and provide patching solutions. The Claude Code preview caused a panic that resulted in billions in lost market capitalization among cybersecurity stocks. CrowdStrike shares decreased by 8%, reaching approximately $388.87, while Okta experienced a 9.2% decline and Zscaler saw a 5.5% drop in its stock price. That demonstrates the increasing investor anxiety about AI technology developments that threaten to disrupt established cybersecurity frameworks.

Did ChatGPT take down Claude?

On March 2, 2026, Claude experienced a widespread service disruption that affected users across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The outage quickly drew significant media attention, with numerous technology news outlets reporting on user frustration and downtime. In the early hours of the incident, some commentators speculated that the disruption may have been caused by a sudden influx of new users migrating from OpenAI. However, there is no public evidence confirming that theory.
