I just had to talk to a chatbot at a doctors office and I think I developed a heart condition in frustration.
They replaced the normal intake form with a thousand chatbot turns.

Everyone is all hyped about LLMs and here I just want SAM 3

The only thing I don’t like about MCP is that clients make me beg to include tools in the plan. Like, just give me a checkbox to say you MUST schedule a tool call in the plan.

I literally cannot work with Firestore without seed data in json. I lose track of fields almost immediately, otherwise.

How does Firestore scale to large teams? Do you end up with a ton of spaghetti checking if slight variations of field names exist?

Had a dream that a rust app was silently crashing every time I tested it. That’s it. That was the dream. Over and over.

Not perfect but it kind of works. Speaker detection of multi-user webcam input.

My favorite thing about wandering into Applied AI as a focus is that in 200 lines of code you can make something profoundly useful. Like, the dopamine efficiency is off the charts, especially in CV.

Trying out Dapr Agents today. I tried Dapr+Aspire about a year ago for this purpose but they didn’t have a dedicated concept of an agent.

I still think Dapr is one of most under utilized frameworks for agentic app development.

if docker compose supports llm endpoints, that means I can start models in my devcontainer definition.

Got gemma-3n working in an expo app today on an android device. It’s pretty quick, but boy does the phone get hot quick.

OpenAI’s Deep Research is very interesting when you tell it to limit its research to a single website. In this case, I limited it to app.leg.wa.gov and it just ripped through Washington renters code and found exactly what I needed along with supporting information from other sections.

Spent the day digging into supabase and expo. There’s so much cool stuff I was missing in big enterprise fintech dev

I’d really like to see Microsoft.Extensions.AI.ModelContexProtocol

The repo that Anthropic picked up is pretty ok but I think this is a gap that Microsoft could fill in a more robust way in-framework, especially since they’re integrating the spec into their products.

I appreciate how re:Invent throws frugality to the wind and prioritizes the customer in an almost obscene way.

Converted my Unreal Engine MCP server plugin from Python to Rust and cut out having to have a TCP server from UE->Python

Now it’s Unreal C++ <-> Rust through C bindings. No more Python dependencies, just a dll to drop into your binaries folder

The majority of the code is C++ anyway

A small experiment today. MCP server wired up to Unreal Engine
