I had occasion to use the new prompt-generated Shortcuts interface in iOS 27 Beta today and it worked great. Such a time-saver!
Connecting the dots: the new stateless Model Context Protocol could mean a simpler service architecture and savings on your cloud spend
MCP just got cheaper to scale
MCP’s 2026-07-28 specification removes protocol sessions and the `Mcp-Session-Id` header, making remote MCP servers cheaper and easier to scale. This post explains the old session model, why it required infrastructure such as sticky routing and Redis, and how stateless MCP preserves application state through explicit handles.

I covered a lot of GraphQL stories this week!
Hype cycle, bad takes, API design, GraphQL + AI, and marketing

GraphQL is in Gartner’s Trough of Disillusionment in the 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle for APIs. Good.
just to raise a pseudo-poll: how many folks work on a codebase that still actively uses React-Redux's `connect` API? I officially marked it as deprecated a few months ago in 9.3: github.com/reduxjs/reac... I don't plan to remove it any time soon. But I'm curious if I _could_, someday.

GraphQL is actually a good choice for a lot of service-to-service use cases. @mark.larah.me did a great talk at GraphQLConf 2026 about this and published a blog post too: blog.larah.me/service-to-s...
The Case for Service-to-Service GraphQL
Using GraphQL for service-to-service communication is not necessarily an anti-pattern. In many cases, it's actually turns out to be a great choice!

Loved this clip: "don't just make a better tool, make a better user of that tool." Michelle Greer speaks the truth about developer education and the value of listening with humility:

GraphQL is a great choice for people and agents because... well, why, exactly? Sarah Sanders thinks it has a lot to do with the fact that it makes an API self-documenting, and I agree wholeheartedly. Here's our recent convo: youtu.be/jZkFlwERy2I
Sarah Sanders on GraphQL adoption

Should GraphQL have the semantic equivalent of HTTP verbs in the query language?
I sat down with Sarah Sanders to talk context engineering, AI wizard experiences & more. Do we ship AI-powered experiences to the user's agent, in-app experiences, or somewhere else? Por que no los dos? I really like Sarah's take on this: youtu.be/X9un0F5o7FI

`@apollo/client` and ecosystem, as well as the `rover` package are on staged releases, too. drydock.org by @jovidecroock.com is a great tool in our workflow for verifying released before we publish them. Definitely recommended.
Drydock: pre-publish package review
Drydock lets npm, PyPI, and VS Code maintainers review the exact package artifact before a staged publish or gated release goes live.

With all the recent security incidents in OSS libraries, I wonder how broad the adoption is for CI-gates (any ecosystem) and staged releases (npm). In Preact, signals, pracht, 0no-co and urql we use staged releases and it's great but that might be paranoid me adopting it
In part 2, @phry.dev and I chatted about Apollo Client and GraphQL. In particular, his idea about modifying GraphQL.js to export generator functions was exciting 👀 youtu.be/GavNheJaJYs
