I'm excited to announce a new open source project from @stacklok.com. Mecatl is a "cloud-native harness". The modern agent harness was born and built on the desktop. Current cloud hosting is largely "lift and shift". What if you built the harness *for* the cloud? joe.dev/posts/introd...

Funny enough, doing a CRM lite was one of the first things @cmcluck.bsky.social did when he started playing with modelith.sh. It was surprisingly good and scoping out the moving parts at that level. Don’t think he actually built anything though.

My office got flooded and I have to pick a new color. Dyrehaven (dark earthy green). I have never felt more seen.

@h.olysh.it built an interesting OSS project: modelith.sh With AI driven development high levels of specificity upfront drives efficiency. 1. "grill-me" style skills to drive specificity 2. hybrid generated views (yaml + md w/ mermaid charts) 3. imperative linting forces correctness Super neat.

The Toolhive team just added semantic search for MCP tool usage. Intent is to drive down tool pollution and improve performance for agents. Check it out: dev.to/stacklok/cut...

Was just installing OpenAI Atlas on my Mac and it asked for Bluetooth access. Have I just watched too much Black Mirror, or is this indeed cause enough to abandon ship?

PSA: Out of an abundance of caution we rebuilt all Toolhive MCP images in response to the npm chalk and debug npm package exploit. Practically container isolation would significantly mitigate the impact regardless. Reminder: friends don’t let friends npx run random shit off the internet

The Toolhive team just dropped a major release that includes a slick client app to support the path for production MCP server hosting. Check it out at toolhive.dev

The @stacklok.com crew has been thinking a lot recently about multi-tenant MCP service auth* and task delegation. I imagine a lot of folks out there are jamming on the same problem. Would love to chat if you are… dev.to/stacklok/tok...

Check out our new labs project ToolHive to streamline MCP server hosting. We are trying out ideas to make using MCP servers simpler, safer and friendlier. www.linkedin.com/pulse/introd...

Agentic systems are amazing, but you would be right to be a bit nervous about the security implications. The Codegate team is working hard to bring clean, invisible, local and perhaps most significantly community friendly controls so that you can use these tools with confidence.

Nice article on @thenewstack.io about Codegate: thenewstack.io/codegate-ope...

Super excited to announce codegate.ai. Docker run your way to a local security and privacy solution for codegen tools. Oh, it is also OSS.

I wish managers would stop thinking about their relationship with employees through the lens of finite game theory. The median tenure of employees in the US public sector is 3.9 years. West Coast tech is probably 1-2 years. Great relationships span decades. See the human being and invest in them.

This is the way. Mainframe era: Vertically integrated; closed system Client server era: open(ish) ecosystem on two monopolies (Intel/Microsoft). Cloud era: Vertically integrated with ecosystem as a neccessary afterthought. GenAI era: ? I vote for open ecosystem.

I liked the ecosystem centric flavor of AWS’s GenAI announcements this week. More energy spent on unlocking partners, providing better picks and shovels and unlocking data access to GenAI than on the simply slogging it out with Meta, Alphabet, et al on FMs and direct integration.

As a manager, always provide feedback in the moment. Never in the heat of the moment.

Join us today at 10am ET / 3pm GMT for another edition of #MinderMonday. In this episode we'll dive into writing rules and profiles in the @openssf.org sandbox project #Minder with Juan Antonio "Ozz" Osorio. 📺 See you there! youtube.com/live/eXp0nyd...

Exciting times ahead! Today marks the birth of Stacklok, where innovation and security meets purpose. We're on a mission to secure software supply chains, with the way we know best, open source technologies! https://www.stacklok.com/post/stacklok-has-launched
