in a few hours I'm "one-shotting" a full integration live with claude + prismatic... and you get to pick what we connect. no real rehearsal so it might get messy, but we'll learn some things along the way. 2pm ET, come watch: prismatic.io/events/works... #buildinpublic #AI

I very often get asked about the difference between AI skills, MCP, and agents, but it's pretty straightforward when you see how they work together. Made a quick educational video explaining each one using a musical analogy: sheet music, instrument, musician. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmCW...

AI Skills vs MCP vs Agents: Learn the Difference

Prismatic (the iPaaS company I work for) just open-sourced its entire connector library under Apache-2.0. I was surprised to hear this at first since it's a lot of integration knowledge to give away. Also it seemed to support this idea that AI is "killing" SaaS, but I think it's more nuanced...

“A Project 2029 that has nothing to say about either the Senate filibuster, or an ideologically captured Supreme Court, or extreme partisan gerrymandering —among other concerns—is not worth the time or effort… Democrats need a theory of constitutional power” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/o...

An annoying byproduct of AI is that people who had proper grammar and an extended vocabulary hammered into them at school constantly have their writing accused of being AI-generated.

I'm probably not as AI sceptical as some, but telling an LLM you're going to do a murder, it helping you route plan anyway and this being "a very hard problem to solve" seems very sub-optimal. www.404media.co/nvidia-and-m...

Nvidia and Microsoft Researchers Say AI Agents Don't Care About Safety or Reliability

The researchers compared AI to the near-sighted cartoon character Mr. Magoo, who can’t see he’s stumbling through dangerous situations.

I wanted to learn a little more about skills so I used them with Claude to build a demo ERP integration. gave me an opportunity to think through what actually comprises a skill and what supports skills to make them better...

The walk back continues... I do wonder how much of the hype cycle was calculated and strategic vs. then drinking their own kool aid. It's most likely a bit of both.

CEOS said a thing! Then another thing!

An interesting analysis of AI slop in the workplace. Of particular note is the claim that the best uses of AI are the opposites of the agentic ones currently in vogue. nooneshappy.com/article/appe...

When did tech leadership get so impractical?

Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 2mo ago

it's so adorable watching them sheepishly start to admit there's a disconnect between the huge outpouring of AI money and actual impact and profitability

Wrote a blog post about something I've been thinking/talking about for a while. I was working as a consultant right as the AI boom took off in earnest and like a lot of devs was disturbed by the enthusiasm I was seeing for declaring developers all but obsolete...

You know you’re getting old when you’re in a hammock and realize it might be impossible to get out.

Here's What Indie Devs Need to Do Before Claude's Pricing Split This post is the practical version of that announcement. What the new pools actually look like, the cost math nobody is publishing, who wins, who loses, and the concrete things to change in your CI and your s… #claude #hackernews #news

hi bluesky 👋 finally setting this up. I'm Munz, founding DevRel at prismatic.io, an embedded iPaaS for B2B SaaS companies interested in integrations (of course), practical AI, the wild world of tech. Expect warm takes over hot takes. Also dev-related Prismatic updates obvs. #introduction

Embedded iPaaS for B2B Software Companies | Prismatic

The integration platform for B2B SaaS. Build faster with AI, deploy to thousands of customers, and enable them to create and deploy their own one-off workflows.

A warm (not hot) take: a lot of "AI is bad at this" complaints are actually "the AI has no context for this" complaints. For a throwback Thursday on a Monday, here's an old Labs Workshop from Feb on giving your coding agent enough context to actually help. still holds up. youtu.be/Kw9H0ZSu1Hc?...
