The Shape of What You Meant

You’ve probably been there, looking for someone, not just anyone, but someone who gets it. Maybe you’re building something new and don’t want to do it alone. Maybe your idea doesn’t even have a name yet, but you know it needs others to take shape. You’ve got places to post, share, search, and shout. Too many, really. But despite the flood of tools, you’re still stuck trying to meet someone who actually gets what you're doing. It’s not that the people you’re looking for don’t exist. They do. I...

I had a lot of respect for [[Anthropic]] before they released this feculent bile that is the Model Context Protocol spec and initial implementations to the public. It just feels so half-baked and barely functional.
