Yes. And this is where culture comes in. The culture of discipline of the C++ and the JavaScript communities are at extreme odds of the spectrum. The concern here is that the culture of interfacing with AI tools, such as MCP, is far closer to the discipline of the JavaScript community than to the C++ community.

The fundamental difference is the JS community believe in finding the happy path that results in something they can sell before they have filled in all those annoying problem areas around it.
If an LLM can be shown to be useful 80% of the time to the JS mindset this is fine, and the remaining 20% can be resolved once we're being paid for the rest, Pareto principle be damned.
