smol bean syndrome (cf; the relentless personalization and minimization of individual agency) gotta be one of the most frustrating thought terminating cliches out there

complete inability to even conceptualize what power looks like; power is always something that happens to you, not something you ever have, because power inherently requires a level of effort that people want to disclaim entirely

question for the modeltouchers who are running long-lived agents. do you consider a 'session' to be the entire logical lifetime of the agent (eg, a persistent agent has one session that starts on launch and doesn't end until process restart/full clear) or...

Day 1 of AGNTCon + MCPCon in the books. I'm exhausted, but had a blast. From the rapidfire book signing to hanging out with the MCPJam team, great talks (highlight was @aparker.io's) and keynotes, and meeting a ton of people building cool things. Never felt more pumped about the MCP community.

As of September 2026, over 60% of our weekly active users were connecting via MCP -- running queries, creating dashboards, responding to alerts. That's a pretty wild number, given that our MCP server officially released just a year earlier.
