- What servers do you use, and why do you like them?
- Have you built MCP servers? What do they do and who are they for?
- Any cool stories of what MCP has allowed you to do?
- What's the best things you’ve seen implemented with MCP so far?
- Do you have any considerations or precautions for others?

And @hankgreen.bsky.social followed up with *the single best metaphor* about the internet: it's like food. So obviously, managing the role that the internet has in life is just as (or more) complex than maintaining a balanced relationship with food, and it all makes sense. youtu.be/9euKCrTyMEc?...

It takes on average 14 mins to answer the survey, but if you're feeling very speedy you can get through it in about 5 mins 😁

The full report will be published in May, but folks who help us fill out the survey will get early access, plus additional analysis from us!

Thank you for helping out! 🥳🙏

writing and creating and building things and expressing myself, but it hard to do that when the platforms for expressing yourself are just *massive* hurdles to overcome. It makes me sad to think that so much creativity in one place can harm so much creativity elsewhere... :'(

the creativity of the users of those platforms, but also themselves, because obviously there are loads of us who are on both sides in this! I love enabling creativity in folks working in the tech industry, because software engineering can be such a creative and expressive craft, but I also like..

to unlock and enable creativity and sharing creative work with others. But then, as Cam says, the platforms, and *especially* recommendation algorithms, are seemingly harming creativity more than anything. So the creativity the tech industry uses to develop and monetise the platforms are hurting..

Being a creative in the tech industry is such a curious place to be - because on the one hand, I know these platforms exist because of the creative process that is software engineering, and developed by creative PMs, devs, designers, people, and at one point, these platforms were supposed to exist..
