I'd love to see an #mcp server for #Nozbe (https://nozbe.com; my task manager). I've been a loyal user for over a decade; we use it at virtua.tech, I use it for my personal tasks, and I finally got my wife to start using it. There's a treasure trove of data I want my agents to access. There are quite a few Nozbe MCP servers exposed through third-party services, but a native one would be great, like RememberTheMilk has: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/mcp/ .

#80: Checkmate, magic man!

Magician, architect, and YouTuber Michael Carducci joins us! We discuss jobs, #agent #skills, #JakartaEE 12, #omnihai, #openrouter, #gastown, #java 26, #kotlin 2.3, #Oracle 26a, his show #DevRandomTV, YouTube’s algorithm, and his book. https://www.pubhouse.net/podcast/stackd-80-checkmate-magic-man/

Glad to be back on the bandwagon with another #gtd weekly review. This week I worked on cleaning out my email inbox in addition to reviewing projects and my calendar. I miss inbox zero, but I will get back there eventually… #nozbe
I skipped a couple of weeks, but today I finished another #gtd weekly-ish review. This was my first time at a park this year, and I'm so glad I went. I found an important missed email and added/closed some projects. Most importantly, I realized I hadn't lost track of anything, which can happen when you skip reviews. #nozbe
It's interesting that we're moving from building software to building systems that build software. I wonder how long it'll be before we build systems that build systems that build software.
One of the most effective uses of #coding_agents for me has been working with @AWS. They've proven incredibly helpful at checking on services, verifying deployments, finding the root causes of issues, writing CDK code, etc. They're experts with the AWS CLI. They even told me about the #AWS_Chatbot when I asked about the best way to push alerts to Slack. Ironically, the AWS ChatBot opens up a lot of possibilities for doing similar things (and more) using AIM roles. https://aws.amazon.com/chatbot/?nc2=type_a

AWS Chatbot is an interactive agent that makes it easy to monitor and interact with your AWS resources from your team chat channels.

The more I work with the Agent-to-Agent (#A2A) protocol, the more I like it. The spec is well written and thought out, and the #Quarkus (and #Java) integration is excellent. I’m excited for SDK 1.0 with protobuf support. Here’s the kicker: it doesn’t have to be just for #agents — it’s a protocol for interacting with self-describing services that run long tasks. https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/ #AI
#80 is out! The gang is back with magician, software architect, and YouTuber @Michaelcarducci! They discuss #IBM buying #Confluent, the job market, #agent #skills, #JakartaEE 12, #omnihai, #openrouter, #gastown, #java 26, #kotlin 2.3, #Oracle Database 26a. Then they dive into Michael’s background as both a magician and a software engineer, his YouTube show #DevRandomTV, the complexity of YouTube’s algorithm, and his book, Mastering Software Architecture. https://www.pubhouse.net/podcast/stackd-80-checkmate-magic-man/
Curious about how web applications have changed over time? If so, come to @dev2next in October to see me deliver From Mosaic to Modern: The Evolution of Web App Architectures. If you don't remember life without the Internet, this is for you. If you remember when the Web began, this will be a fun trip down memory lane. Together, we can understand how the future is often a reinvention of the past.
