Thanks, @dddbrisbane.bsky.social!

Good luck to all the organisers and speakers. This one's sure to be a fun day, I wish we could be there in person 🤠

Meanwhile, if you do want Serilog -> OpenTelemetry SDK bridging, watch or star github.com/serilog/seri...
GitHub - serilog/serilog-sinks-opentelemetrysdk: An experimental Serilog sink that writes log events directly to the OpenTelemetry SDK.

Just spiked out `Ctrl Space` `N` as a shortcut for this, feels pretty good; change is isolated enough we could get it into a patch.

Would it 100% nail this scenario for you?

Not quite the same thing (I'm talking about doing it without explicitly adding MCP tools), but thanks for the link 😎

Probably the better default 🙂 - for the app I’m looking at, selectively enabling individual commands would make the experience safer, but access permissions behind the scenes would also cover it

Would take some gymnastics but seems doable; I got this going for seqcli as a spike, it means access to the app’s features are fine-grained, vs all-or-nothing if it’s exposed as a regular command-line app

No, to directly expose and invoke commands as MCP tools, using descriptions etc. from command metadata

Could be the wrong hemisphere for you 🐨🦘

@fastmail.com, have been a customer for 10+ years via @datalust.co and have had no regrets

Just moved from Gmail after just a crazy number of years. I still use and appreciate a bunch of Google products, but I'm wary of how centralized all these critical apps and services have become. Adopting alternatives from smaller, focused companies wherever I can at the moment...

Is hash-bang support possible? Kinda cool to launch directly as scripts on Linux

Congrats! 1M speaks of a lot of hard work 😅👍

I just went through this, too, via the browser. Found the experience really enjoyable!

There's a lot of thought-leadering about WebSockets being obsoleted by this or that new HTTP feature - which, I think, means WebSockets are finally mature enough to build on 😉
