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

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.
