| 421. | We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed bugs | (lalitm.com) |
|
|
Discussed on Hacker News, lobste.rs and r/programming It’s Friday at 4pm. I’ve just closed my 12th bug of the week. My brain is completely fried. And I’m staring at the bug leaderboard, genuinely sad that Monday means going back to regular work. Which is weird because I love regular work. But fixit weeks have a special place in my heart. What’s a fixit, you ask? Once a quarter or so, my org with ~45 software engineers stops all regular work for a week. That means no roadmap work, no design work, no meetings or standups. Instead, we fix the small things that have been annoying us and our users: an error message that’s been unclear for two years a weird glitch when the user scrolls and zooms at the same time a test which runs slower than it should, slowing down CI for everyone The rules are simple: 1) no bug should take over 2 days and 2) all work should focus on either small end-user bugs/features or developer productivity. | |

| 425. | MCP Apps just dropped (OpenAI and Anthropic collab) and I think this is huge | (blog.modelcontextprotocol.io) |
|
|
Today we’re introducing the proposal for the MCP Apps Extension (SEP-1865) to standardize support for interactive user interfaces in the Model Context Protocol. This extension addresses one of the most requested features from the MCP community and builds on proven work from MCP-UI and OpenAI Apps SDK - the ability for MCP servers to deliver interactive user interfaces to hosts. MCP Apps Extension introduces a standardized pattern for declaring UI resources, linking them to tools, and enabling bidirectional communication between embedded interfaces and the host application. | |
