In all my years of writing tools for other devs, dog fooding is the really the best way to develop IMO. The annoying bugs get squashed out because I get frustrated with it in my flow.
Iterating on a MCP tool while having Claude try to use it has been a really great way of getting it to work how others are going to use it coming in blind.
Yes it's buggy as hell, but as someone echoed earlier if the tool works most of the time, a lot of people don't care. Moving fast and breaking things is the way in an arms race.
