I got berlinmcp.com but no idea what to do with it now 😅
Any creative ideas?

Protesting an EU-INC company law that doesn’t even exist yet because it might have downsides is peak European self-sabotage.
You want higher wages? Make Europe the best place in the world to start and grow a business. European founders still face 27 systems, endless friction and brutal regulations – and too few reasons to build here instead of in the US.
These people spend their working hours and money fighting a potential reform. Try building a business here and see how hard it is.
We need an economy where successful businesses can grow – and workers can participate in that success (via higher wages AND stock options). #EUInc

There are only five levels of working with agents:
Level 1 - you paste the context
Level 2 - you save your prompts
Level 3 - the agent pulls context itself
Level 4 - your team runs the same setup
Level 5 - the setup catches what you forget
Most people stop at 2.

Mistakes I made putting agents into real work:
- Assumed a skill deploys what it builds
- Expected the skill to tell me where it stops
- Mixed three topics into one chat
The first one cost me a deadline.

2024: Don't let an agent near production without reading every line it wrote.
2026: Don't go near production without asking an agent what else runs at that hour.

Some mistakes you can't work your way out of.
If the thing takes longer than the time you have left, effort stops mattering. No amount of panic shortens it.
Worth knowing which of your steps are like that, before an agent takes the rest off your hands.

What people use agents for:
- Writing code
- Fixing tests
- Refactoring
What pays off more in an old system:
- Mapping what runs when
- Finding a safe window to deploy
- Explaining why something is slow
Reading beats writing here.

What an agent can't find in an old codebase:
- Why the workaround is still there
- Which service nobody touches on Fridays
- The naming rule four people agree on
- What broke last time someone tried this
None of it is written down. That's the work.
