Desktop Icons of Yore (datagubbe.se)
After reading an excellent blog post about the intended use cases for moricons.dll in Windows 3.1, it seemed pertinent to spread some further love for these little images.

MCP Is Not Good, Yet (cra.mr)
Something’s been bothering me lately surrounding the conversation of MCP servers. Everyone, seemingly, is talking about how MCPs are great, and we should be building MCPs, and adopting MCPs, and rethinking UIs with MCPs, becoming best friends with MCPs, getting married to MCPs, you know, the works.

MCP in production: the good, the bad and the ugly (raduloff.dev)
I genuinely believe technologies like MCP will change the way we interact with computers. After using it in production, I’m just not sure MCP itself will be the one to do it.

The Race Is on to Redesign Everything for AI Agents (every.to)
Last month, I built an AI agent and set it free to see if it can successfully integrate a tool for me. I’d worked on it and tested it extensively, so I had some idea of what to expect. But still, watching it read through documents for a new tool and then use what it learned to deploy code that actually worked—all on its own—was a heady moment. I thought: We’ve got to start designing everything with agents in mind.
