It's truly humbling and uplifting to receive a photo from someone with both of your books on their desk, along with the message: "I got my own copy of A Beginner’s Guide to LangGraph and AI Agents and found it very useful and well-written."

🎙️ Had a ton of fun interviewing @stefanjudis.com , the author of Web Weekly (my favourite JS newsletter). We talked about the process behind building the newsletter to 6k+ subs, the craft of web dev, learning deep vs learning broad, AI, MCP, and more. Enjoy!

Continuing our Spanish adventures, we took a 3-day trip to Nerja. Just check out this picture! I'm a bad photographer, but when the landscape and light are so beautiful, even I can take decent pictures.

A couple of days ago, I interviewed @paolo.ricciuti.me , core contributor to @svelte.dev and maintainer of the TypeScript MCP library. Many interesting things, including how the Svelte team is using its MCP server to upgrade code to new versions.

I started working on Certified Fresh Events (later CFE.dev) back in June 2016. The original intent was to build a series of in-person events but, to bootstrap the brand and audience, I decided to launch with online ones. The initial events were bigger than I expected, hitting my user limit caps.
Goodbye to CFE.dev
After 9+ years, it's time to say goodbye to CFE.dev. Join the core contributors to the site for a final farewell.

Writing MCP servers it's quite boilerplatey but most of the times you will return a single text content from tool or a single message from prompt.

I'm adding a bunch of utils to tmcp so you can now just

return tool.text("Tool result");

or

return prompt.message("Your prompt");

Any feedback?

This adds a utils entrypoint for tmcp that contains some small utilities to write a lot of the boilerplate responses. You can see an example in the everything-server to take a sense of the api AND ...

This podcast with Dorian Yates (6 consecutive Mr. Olympia titles) is excellent! It seems that when it comes to building muscle mass, the same principles apply as in passive investing: keep it simple, do fewer actions, and put the most you can into it.

One of my bets is that, most applications will soon have an integrated AI/LLM layer. Just like they have a database layer. The AI layer could be used for:
- 💬 NLP capabilities to greatly enhance the UX
- 📦 making sense of unstructured data
- 🤖 commentating with other AIs

Seeing all the news about JS and AI, I am very excited about the attention JavaScript is getting as a language for building AI-powered applications. It reminds me of a tweet I saw a while ago that said, "Python is for training AI, while JavaScript is for building with it."

When it comes to AI, orchestrating LLMs & agents through code is far more powerful (and fun) than relying solely on prompt engineering. That's one of the reasons I wrote "📘 Build AI Agents with LangGraph js".

Check out @ishananand.bsky.social 's presentation at @cascadiajs.com. It’s a great example of how we can create something similar to "View Source", but for LLMs 🤩

Success is unpredictable. Luck and timing play a bigger role than we think. That’s why who you work with and how you spend your days might be the real “win.”

I've been in the industry for over 20 years. Tech is challenging, exciting, and beautiful. A great place to grow. But it's not easy at all, especially if you want to master the craft.

I just saw one of those “It’s so easy to get into tech and make a huge salary” courses. It was launched by someone who:
1. did a coding bootcamp,
2. stayed 2–3 years at a company,
3. quit, and now sells courses.

If it’s so nice and easy in tech, why quit so fast?
