just small circles 🕊

Did coding become easier and easier, I wonder? If we look at the entirety of the software creation and delivery process, I mean. For the code editing experience I agree. Take the whole lifecycle and the complexity seems to have merely shifted to other areas than where it was before. Wading through all the countless technologies, languages, frameworks and tools we have today. Making decisions every step of the way. There #AI with #MCP may be both helpful and also highly disruptive.

@anildash Thank you for this. The Verge's interview with Microsoft's Kevin Scott sparked similar giddy thoughts about MCP. Hence, I was disappointed to see early takes on it as: MS wants us to give it all our data for free. This is the better reaction: enthusiasm, and let's see where this goes. #ai #mcp

I’m seeing enough mentions of this new MCP thing to make me want to find out what it is for and how it works.

Not so I can use it. Just so I know what it does.

Where should I go to read about it? I haven’t done a search yet.

Now that #MCP is taking off. I recalled something I wrote for Shift2020, a book of essays published in 2013. In that I called out that APIs just couldn't keep up with interoperability and we'd need "negotiating servers" to exchange data and functionality.

While I was talking about #IoT at the time, the need is exactly the same for #AI work. I'm *not* saying I predicted MCP, I'm saying was one of many predicting the need.

Negotiated Data, not APIs By 2020, we will have moved from API data to negotiated data APIs are cute; they are what you do when you want to share. And just like push trucks and plastic tea sets, we’ll eventually grow out of them. It’s not that APIs are bad, they are sometimes quite effective but they are also naive: assuming the API designer knows best and that everyone will use their API over all others. People will eventually realize the “Internet of Things” isn’t about things or the Internet, but rather the data that flows from the former through the latter. The data and its storage will be in constant flux, APIs are far too slow to ever keep up. By 2020 we’ll have ‘negotiating servers’ that allow devices to share ‘self describing data’. When two devices want to talk, they will, on their own, figure out a way to share data. It’s the only way the explosion of devices and varied data can ever find common ground.

It really pisses me off that every person in IT who should know better just laps up the latest faang trojan uncritically. Seems like the past 40 years has seen me holding out in vain against some dystopian cash cow or other. #MCP is everywhere now. You'd think we had enough of running other peoples' random shit on your computer.

Apple should totally ditch the proprietary nature of #AppIntents and instead each app with intents should expose them through a mini #MCP server. Free all those actions from the confines of Siri and Shortcuts, and let apps freely trigger and combine each others’ actions.

The stream from yesterday was a disaster (technical issues, also not much content), but I will keep persevering until I feel confident with the streaming part.

I am doing this to brush up concepts for next week on MSBuild, so if you want to chat, and maybe learn something at the same time see you later.

See you in 1hr and a half (2:30 PST), I will try my owncast today (stream.maho.dev not online until 5 minutes before) and youtube (youtube.com/live/OoGcFLPLa5U?f).

I'm integrating MCP (Model-Context-Protocol) with a real production-grade SaaS, built on Blazor and C# dotnet.

The tech landscape is ever-evolving, and I want to stay sharp for MSBuild next week—no surprises allowed! This is a hands-on journey with real SaaS software.

Catch me today from 3-4 pm PST, and likely every day this week. I will try to also stream on #owncast, but not sure if it is ready to share, we will see.

I think “a12y” — short for automatability — is going to be a useful shorthand as we start building #AI to automate a lot of our systems and as we build them to be automatable or make adapters (like #MCP) to make existing systems automatable.

In the Tampa Bay Python meetup, we’ll start covering a12y and how you can use Python to automate your day-to-day work to make life easier and help you do more.
