New tool converts Google Docs to Markdown for better LLM parsing

A new tool, `gdocs-to-md-mcp`, converts Google Docs into markdown format, which is more easily parsed by LLMs than the raw JSON output from Google's Workspace CLI. This conversion is crucial because research indicates markdown can improve LLM performance and token efficiency compared to JSON. The tool aims to improve how AI assistants understand and process document content, contrasting with Google's approach that prioritizes structured data over content readability for AI. AI

    Google's Workspace CLI returns raw JSON. `gdocs-to-md-mcp` returns markdown. Here's why that matters.

    Then there's the culture problem. Most obviously, if you replace junior engineers with LLMs, then there is no pipeline for senior engineers. Worse, the seniors who now spend all day doing LLM code reviews may be losing their skills, getting bored, and not paying attention. Certai…

    Let's start with the outpacing argument, 'cuz I think it sets the stage well. Coding speed is not the limiting factor in Silicon Valley's innovation. When I left Google, they were drowning in legacy code, and it was a huge problem that no one was willing to invest in fixing. Some…

    A lab mate recently asked me why I think the tech industry might regret their rapid and large scale adoption of LLM into their development practices. I said there were at least three core problems: tech companies outpacing themselves, reduced quality, and cultural breakdown. (1/4…
