Have so much more where this came from to make it easier for LLM's to interact fluidly with large API's over MCP! . Thanks @zeke & @replicate team for being such a great design partner!.

Coming soon. snappier MCP interactions from @replicate's MCP server, thanks to dynamic `jq` filtering of API responses. 🤯. The team at @StainlessAPI really knows how to cook.

Turns out there's a lot to explore at the frontier of MCP and agents using APIs -- and a lot of people excited to explore it!. Thanks @danshipper, @mc_anthropic, @ilanbigio, @TomHacohen, and @shashankgoyal95 for dishing out the "warm takes" and hot ideas ♨️.

@bterlson Shoutout also to @twitchard from Stripe and Young-jin, @probablyrobert, and @mmcgrana from Stainless for poking on all the toughest edge-cases of "artisanal polyglot codegen" and building out the internal versions of this at @stripe and @StainlessAPI, respectively!.

Has been suuuper fun collaborating with @bterlson designing an open-source codegen system, . It's been a delightful mix of "multiple discovery" of novel ideas, being wowed by Brian's magical solutions to impossible problems, and brainstorming sessions.

@vuejs @solid_js Also lots of folks have been giving great feedback along the way, e.g. the @TypeSpecLang crew (who will likely be using this for our upcoming emitter framework) and @RattrayAlex and the @StainlessAPI crew.

In 2020, we discovered a fundamental limit in the general-purpose DB design for transaction processing. This led to the creation of TigerBeetle. Today, I'm excited to announce TigerBeetle's $24 million Series A led by @natalievais of @sparkcapital.

I'm sick of @Spotify's overzealous taste-bubbling and promotions. Which music streaming service should I switch to?.

shipped a lil side project this weekend: copy/paste messages from Slack into other apps without absolutely losing your sanity over the formatting. Thank you AI for writing most of the code and @ValDotTown for making hosting insanely easy 😊. It's.

Small world; I (~rattray in the screenshot) met @jorandirkgreef (~jorangreef) randomly at a dinner, and he recognized my name from an hn comment 5 years ago. Apparently it led to a chain of events relating to the founding of @TigerBeetleDB, which is some extraordinarily cool.
