Yes can vouch for it. They’ve been in business for years and years and one of the better sources of licensed animation. What are you going to watch?

Nick Aldrich from @awscloud.bsky.social showing us what's next for async tool calls in MCP (though I think an event-driven agent approach with ephemeral clients is the way). There will be improvements in client-polling. Follow and contribute to it in SEP-1391 github.com/modelcontext... #MCPDevSummit

That is a rather ominously large Doctor's bag. I wonder what's inside 🤔

They've solved most standard OAuth use cases but fine-grained auth is still unsolved, with Dynamic Client Registration the most challenging. The next spec release's focus is on structured outputs, asynchronous tasks, statelessness and server identity.

Looking forward to the new spec on 25 November!

Full house at the #MCPDevSummit morning keynotes. Great seeing David Soria Parra from @anthropic.com telling us the story so far: 10,000+ integrations built by the community in the 10 months since the MCP launch.

I'm heading to the MCP Developers Summit tomorrow. Who else will I see there?

Really looking forward to the keynotes, spec updates (OAuth in particular) and war stories from MCP in production. Also quietly hoping for swag of this magnitude 🤞🏽 @mcpdevsummit.ai

You’re never alone at #PyData. Love this little group we’ve built up and stoked that all the talks today are from the local community.

Kicking off the end of summer meetup in an hour. Looking forward to catching up with the regulars and welcoming the newcomers to Python Data Land 🤙🏽

It’s the end of summer and it’s almost time for another meetup. Pizza ordered, drinks in the fridge and TV/audio ready. See you all when we kick things off in an hour!

Yes! Paul is one of the best in the business on these topics

Go away or I will replace you with a very small vibe-coded shell script

I feel bad for anyone that suffers from those asshole reply guys but it’s so sweet when women support each other, call it out and dish out fourth-degree burns

Every time I come across a missing library in Zig (or any library for that matter), I mutter under my breath, “Don’t make me vibe code. You wouldn’t like me when I vibe code”

Enjoyed a lovely pint on Roger Daltrey’s estate (it absolutely pissed it down 2 mins later)

During the announcement, I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of CFO’s voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

Copilot support in Excel has been added by @microsoft.com. The joke is that most of a company’s data is in Excel, so how can you do the most damage to a company’s financial reporting? You enable vibe spreadsheeting 🔥

🍕TIL about the Pentagon Pizza Index, which is based on the theory that a spike in late-night pizza orders near the US intelligence HQ could signal an impending national security crisis or military action.

Sounds lovely! I’m a fan of the Lizard peninsula and need to see more

Not at all! It’s a large county and easy to get lost. Hope you’re having or had fun

I've been a busy bee building an MCP server at lenses.io and just got my ticket for @mcpdevsummit.ai in October 🙌🏽

Who else is going and who should I meet?

Lovely! Looks like you're on the north coast somewhere?

Over time, it’s become easier to find the fun in my work and practice self care. Now I know that when I put my work down, whenever that is, I've done my best for the day. And to do my best tomorrow I need to rest today.

When we run a marathon, we don't watch the clock and instead we listen to our body. When we work we don't watch the clock but we don't listen to our body either! Is a finishing time of 10pm or 1am good?

Tun @stereosky.bsky.social · Aug 30

It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

This is a well known phrase, especially if you’re a founder or if you work in a startup. It absolutely is a marathon and not a sprint, but our concept of a good finishing time is broad.
