Being successful at creating (semi)autonomous agents means getting really good at implmenting anti-corruption/mapping layers between agents and services. MCP is one attempt (JSON 2.0) but we'll need more thinking on this before agency is common and reliable and cost-effective. #genAI #api360

I keep coming back to the problem of scaling the onboarding, the setting up of applications, and the obtaining of API keys across many different APIs. The differences in how every API provider handles this keep leaving me hitting a brick wall. apievangelist.com/2026/06/19/s...

"Why is it the things you want in life are there only for an instant?" -- Burt Lancaster as Starbuck in Rainmaker #movies #quotes

"The forest will always be larger than any beam of light we bring into it.” Good API design is less about exposing everything and more about helping people navigate to their chosen location. See the full article here: mamund.substack.com/p/the-flas

“This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire, but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely lights and wires in a box.” -- Edward R. Murrow, 1958 #history #future #AI

After a great week at #FOST and #apidays Paris I am boarding my first flight of my Atlantic trek home to KY.

At Cincinnati airport to start my #apiDays Paris adventure (CVG-DTW-CDH). Typical weather delays at Detroit but still optimistic for my chances to arrive on time in Paris without too much drama. #mcaTravels #api360

Hey I'm gonna be in Paris all of next week if anyone is there and wants to talk digital ecosystems with me?!
