Restarting your http MCP server? ✔️Codex CLI reconnects (JIT connect, I think) ✔️ Claude Code started reconnecting "recently" ❌ Claude Desktop via mcp-remote does not reconnect Other findings/corrections? Is there a cross-agent feature matrix somewhere?

Marcin Głowacki wrote up how to copy Figma components and paste them as actual working Java/React code in Vaadin. Not just similar-looking code but the actual code. Marcin's tutorial walks through the complete setup with working examples. vaadin.com/blog/how-to-...

How to use own Figma components in Vaadin applications | Vaadin

Turn a Figma design into a Java app. Use Vaadin Copilot’s Figma Importer API to map Figma components to Java views, with code examples and a demo repo.

Sometimes (often) #ChatGPT UX is quite confusing. It does not say why Research is not available, and "plain" 4o can't read a file AND reference the web? Sigh. I need a flow diagram to figure out what model and mode combination works with which features.

Running a Deep Research analysis with Gemini in one window, while summarizing a long report with ChatGPT in another does make me feel a bit like an "agent boss". I might need more screens, though – is someone working on a control room for agents?

The @github.com Copilot "chat" is apparently only allowed to create novel code, and it makes it almost unusable. "Sorry, the response matched public code so it was blocked. Please rephrase your prompt. Learn more."

Can anyone fill me in a little bit on how LLMs handle different languages? I mean am I better off doing prompts in English even though the material, context, or response will be in say Swedish? How about vector lookups? How about Finnish that is in some cases fundamentally different?

This year I apparently spent 5,498 minutes listening to podcasts like these. (And I can already tell the list will look different next year – stay tuned 😉) Which podcasts do you listen to? Any suggestions? #SpotifyWrapped
