The new MCP spec just dropped! 🎉
There's too many new things to get into everything, but there are two big changes I am most excited about 👀
📝 Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) - a simpler way to manage client registrations, clients describe themselves with a URL they control

The question truly was "How do I want my kid to grow up?"
When they struggle, do I want them saying "I can't do this because I'm bad/stupid"? or do I want them saying "This is hard, but I know I can get it with some time and practice (and maybe some help"?
I want my kid to like themself.

"Just like asking on a forum! But faster."
Discussed with Gemini how to create synthetic surround sound from stereo music. Very educational, I learned a lot about speaker placement etc.
But it completely just lied and fabricated some of the key steps to actually *doing* the signal processing. Just like asking on a forum! But faster.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. How many times have you heard that? But it's also the enemy of getting done. I wrote more on this topic here:
The perfect is the enemy of the good (and the done)
Dear new developer, When you are facing a problem, it can be very tempting to try to solve it perfectly. Handle all the possible edge cases, make it extensible, have it be configurable without code…

AI bubble thoughts
1. The no business model critique is wrong for FAANG; they’re posting record profits while spending on AI. It’s startups like OpenAI & Thinking Machines that lack the business models
2. Circular deals (Nvidia funding OpenAI to buy Nvidia chips) are a🚩. Major Lucent & Enron vibes

Not every day is a step forward. Often it’s two steps forward, one step back.
That doesn’t mean those days aren’t necessarily for overall success. In fact, they are.
There’s no such thing as a straight line.
