Hello, Bluesky! 👋 🦋

I'm Ákos, a web developer. I write about topics that matter to engineers.

Most of my work is on React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node. But I’m interested in everything web-related!

I'm here to help and connect with other developers.

Let’s connect! 🤝
Gm ☀️

It’s a public holiday here, so what better way to spend it than exploring some cool new stuff?

Taking notes, there's so much good stuff. ✍️

Do you know what this is?

Good day,

Celebrating it in the garden with these beautiful flowers. I even felt like running, so I went for a 5k but stopped short so I have something to run towards later this week 🙂

Don’t forget to rest, my friend. You’ve worked for it.

My MCP book is out 🚨

Build MCP servers with TypeScript - a book taking you from "Hello World" MCP to a host-orchestrated workflow in your spare time.

Feedback means a lot to me, so it’s free for those willing to leave a review. 🙂

Reply and I'll DM you the link!

kicking off work with a matcha tea 🍵

I’m drinking it for the first time, let’s see what I missed

Chapter 3 reviewed and shipped 🚢

Two more chapters left, and some closing words, and my MCP book is on the shelves.

Gumroad offers a quick setup for products to check interest. However, with the "pay what you want" model, here's what a creator receives after €1.

Are there any alternatives where people can sign up and leave tips?

Final pass and edits on the book.

More people subscribed (and paid!) through my free Gumroad page, which I set up just to track interest. This is definitely not helping with my impostor syndrome, thanks 😄

Diagrams are cool, adding more where appropriate.

Let's go!

Kicking off the morning in shades, the baby went to bed too late and I feel like I’m having jet lag. 🤒

I managed to get in a training session but felt very heavy. During morning coffee, I finished the last chapter of the MCP book and sent out the first preview.

Let’s go 💪

This is not even a dollar, right?

On the other hand, it’s not even a paid product but a pay-what-you-want.

And sometimes, this is all you need as a small indie educator to give motivation to finish your next book.

Thank you!🙏

Discipline involves not only following through on your commitments but also refraining from actions you know are harmful.

I heard something along these lines in a podcast during training, and I think it’ll stick with me for this week.

Did you do your Monday workout?

GM devs ☀️

The MCP book is coming together! I have some more work to do on the last and final chapter where I’m using both prompts and resources. It’s pretty cool.

And I’m launching this week! Subscribe here to not miss it: akoskm.gumroad.com/l/mcp

What are your plans?
May 26, 2025 at 6:18 AM
I should send more emails

Thank you 🥹

One thing that now takes only seconds:

Comparing different salaries, full-time, contractor, number of days off, and other benefits.

What seemingly looks like a lot better offer, if you deduct the vacations and days off, turns out I would work 20% more for $15/day.

One of my favorite use cases so far

Did you know you can make links clickable in the output of your MCP Server tool call?

Simply format the returned text content as markdown:

Geminip-2.5-pro is officially my favorite model:

1. I read the requirements
2. We write code
3. I tell it to change something because it doesn't work as requested
4. It pulls up a requirement I overlooked that my change would break

When did Google become so good at AI? 🤯
May 21, 2025 at 10:19 AM
*completes a hackathon project on a Wednesday that would have taken a month to implement without AI*

nobody:

a random dev: idk, I feel AI is not there yet...

Sometimes, I see tech 𝕏 and I just want to brush up on my linear algebra, statistics, and probability from college, make ML models, and build a spaceship in my garage

Forget UX and DX.

Have you heard about about AX?
May 19, 2025 at 1:21 PM
let's start this week with 10x productivity

agree?

GM devs!

Training first thing in the morning keeps me calm when Claude tells me, "Oh, you're right," five times in a row. 😂

Are you done with your morning workout?

Last year, I switched to a full-time gig because I wanted to see what happens at scale.

I was always shipping SaaS/apps to mid-sized clients.

Here, it's massive data pipelines, petabytes of data, and enterprise clients who rely on your software to keep ticking.

This is cool.

Imagine ignoring basic algorithmic complexity and relying on LLMs to speed up your code

LLM coders, do you check the performance of the generated code?

Random guy: pitches some crypto scheme with 30% returns

Me: Congrats, glad it's working out for you, but I'm not interested

Them: block 🚫
