Claude Code is getting the full Emacs treatment. Definitely a step up from rigging a terminal wrapper (which I'm still very much doing).

Echoing Steve Klabnik’s feelings, much of the current state of “AI” discussion amongst the dev community feels unproductive and flat out wrong. No the craft is not going away. Yes the craft is changing - it always has been.

My #emacs package fretboard.el now includes support for toggling between scale modes, and viewing notes by name/interval. Working on getting docs cleaned up for inclusion in melpa next.

Mattt gives a walk through of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the "LSP" for LLM's if you will. Then, casually drops iMCP - a Mac app that is, put simply: the foundational LLM implementation that Apple Intelligence should be. Free and open-source. Kudos.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Language Server Protocol (LSP) revolutionized how programming languages integrate with developer tools. Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to do the same for a new generation of AI tools.

I wonder if AI will eventually drag the majority of writers down to a mean, enforcing an unescapable sameness. These are some writers that still got “it”.

You are what you eat just as your worldview is defined by what you read, listen or watch. If you don’t put effort into curating what you consume, it’s probably garbage.

This 10 year old post by Jisang Yoo is a wonderfully thorough guide on how to read Lisp. For the uninitiated that say "lisp is unreadable, there's too many parens!". Calmly, roll your eyes and forward them this guide:

Xenodium built a streamlined blogging platform called LMNO (not sure what the acronym stands for?). No ads, fair pricing, no bloat. Nice. I echo the sentiment that blogging is making a low-key comeback, and I'm here for it.
