The post mixes Codemode and MCP yet the explanation is strange IMO and both appear to be new things in the latest release
If you are a Pi user it may be better to just ask your agent to explain <a href="https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/10040" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/10040

  Author of the post here: I don't think it's a good idea to put your clanker to a PR and then try to explain it. That's because you are then reading a derivative work of a derivative work instead of going to the source.
  If we fail to explain it, then we need to do a better job explaining it :)

    Yeah YMMV. FWIW I did that earlier today and I think I got a better idea about what codemode is than the changelog and the post

    As we said in the post, we will write about Codemode more in the future. This post in many ways was necessary to address an Elefant in the room.

    "Now we talked so much about Codemode, it might be worth explaining what that even is."

    Yeah, since pi is my first agent harness I barely understand what MCP is beyond an API standard. When the essay started talking about codemode without any introduction I was having trouble following it.
