I started a company called Mux and a conference called Demuxed. I used to write code. I still do sometimes but I used to too.
You’re probably you’re right, and it likely has more to do with subtly building the tools more explicitly and directly to do the intended job vs a more generic set of MCP tools. I’ll try out a more direct comparison and see if it holds.

Also just realized I jumped into an 8 day old thread as if it was just posted. I promise I've been on the Internet before.

You're too kind! The other specific bit that I've run into is that (anecdotally) AI frameworks seem to handle tools natively defined in their patterns better than generic MCP servers. I'm sure that will get better over time, but it seems like the happy path is "specialized" all the way down for now.

Someone years ago pulled a consistent, long running prank where they’d consistently subscribe me to newsletters for technologies they knew I didn’t like.
Had to be a coworker, because they’d cycle through all my work aliases. Honestly…it was infuriating, but a pretty good prank.

It’s not decentralized in the same way Mastodon is, pretty sure reporting these kinds of accounts actually works quite well. No idea how this small team seems to be keeping up with the scale of stuff like that pretty well.

Unfortunately I just don’t think it matters what they do. If it’s accessible in any way, it will get scraped by unscrupulous actors. Full stop.
That doesn’t mean terms shouldn’t exist and such, but I’m begging folks to consider how far they’ll go to “stop” it.

Oh god I’m not masochistic enough to take other people on this journey, this is my personal stuff.
But yes, Notion is fine. I should just use that.
…But also, what if I just spend 3 days crafting the perfect habit journal and task tracker via 9 Obsidian plugins?
