Another hyped/clickbait headline about a "new technology" that will "transform everything"

written by a company that sells this "new technology".

I just saw some job postings asking for 8+ years experience in MCP

You need 10+ for senior though.

I think you're joking but if not I'd love to see one!

1 year for a human is like 10 in AI-years.

Not a problem for the 15x programmer.

15x is a rookie multiplier, do you need me to explain how exponential curves work? Within mere months I'll need to start resorting to up-arrow notation to express my value as a developer. And someday I might even start making more money too!

Well you see I run dozens of agents at once so my hours of experience accumulate at 10-100x real time. I've got about 200 years of experience in MCP. I accumulated another 3 years of experience while typing this

Any chance they want someone that got the "Microsoft Certified Professional" badge 8 years ago or more?
