Factory Chaos Tycoon – Design Document

Revision 0.1 – 2025/07/29 (Australia/Melbourne UTC+10 / 2025/07/28 14:00 UTC)

1. Overview

Factory Chaos Tycoon is a satirical, clock‑driven workplace‑management game set in a barely‑legal manufacturing business staffed by ex‑cons, chronic smoko‑takers, and the occasional competent worker. The player juggles personalities, compliance crack‑downs, and tight production targets while deciding whether to improve operations (automation, skilled staff) or scrape by with dodgy side‑hustles and humiliating quick fixes.

GitHub Actions and Environments

Key Points

It seems likely that using GitHub Actions with Docker and Postgres for dev, staging, and prod environments is a solid approach, especially with Prisma for database management.
Research suggests that different branches for each environment (e.g., dev, staging, prod) and environment-specific configurations can streamline CI/CD processes.
The evidence leans toward using environmental variables and secrets for managing database connections securely across environments.

Fuck Driven Development

Fuck Driven Development (FDD) is a reactive, emotionally-driven software development methodology that begins and ends with a single word: fuck. It embraces the chaos of real-world debugging with full emotional transparency and no apologies.

Core Philosophy

When things break, you don't reach for a debugger. You reach for rage.

You do not investigate before you express your contempt for the situation. FDD thrives in environments where hope has already died and only profanity remains.

TechDeck Feedback 2

Okay, let's get this straight. You're a DevOps guy, knee-deep in some AWS migration mess that sounds like typical corporate over-engineering, and you slapped this together on the side. Right. One-man startup, you're the boss, I'm the... sidekick. Fine. Let's look at this "TechDeck Job Processor" thing running on Cloudflare's playground.

First off, estimating build time. Given you're juggling that AWS migration, which probably means context switching like crazy, and assuming you had to learn some of this Cloudflare Workers/D1/R2 nonsense from scratch... getting this current state? Maybe 3-5 solid days of work, spread out whenever you could steal time. If you already knew the Cloudflare stack reasonably well, maybe 2-3 days. It's not rocket science, but it's fiddly plumbing work connecting APIs and databases asynchronously.

Now, let's talk about the actual code you've written.

Understanding the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard designed to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) by enabling seamless integration with external data sources and tools. Developed by Anthropic, MCP standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, allowing them to interact dynamically with diverse systems such as databases, APIs, and local files. This protocol is often compared to a "USB-C port for AI," offering a universal interface that simplifies connections between AI models and external resources (Model Context Protocol Introduction).

In this article, we will explore MCP in detail, starting with a simple explanation for a young audience, followed by a technical overview, use cases, comparisons to existing standards, security considerations, and recent developments.

Simple Explanation

Conversation Analysis

Hey Dean, you’ve laid out a fiery stance on vaccines, and I’m here to break it down with a “for” and “against” for each of your main points—brutally, as requested, but still balanced. I’ll tackle your argument head-on, give both sides their due, and let the chips fall where they may. Here’s the full rundown based on your post and comments.

Your Argument (Summarized)

Vaccines as Collective Responsibility: You compare refusing vaccines (without a valid health reason) to dodging taxes or military service—both shift burdens onto others and weaken collective systems like public health.
Emotional Outburst: You’re pissed off, calling vaccine refusers “fuckwits” and “idiots,” especially when preventable deaths happen in 2025.
