🎥 WORTH WATCHING

Anthropic on the Future of MCP — Deep talk on where Model Context Protocol is heading. Agents work great for coding, but the goal is extending to finance, marketing, ops. 🔗 https://youtu.be/v3Fr2JR47KA?si=Wv86KQ_6hNzDOvKu 🔗 X: https://x.com/santtiagom_/status/2051649656619254245

💡 TECHNIQUES & IDEAS

MCP vs Skills vs Hooks vs Subagents — Clear breakdown of 4 distinct AI agent primitives people keep conflating. Different use cases, different architectures. Worth reading if you're building agents. 🔗 X: https://x.com/NainsiDwiv50980/status/2051589200282321154

🔮 EMERGING TRENDS

Local-first AI coding is maturing — Between Ollama's Claude Desktop integration and Unsloth's guide for running Gemma/Qwen locally, the "run it yourself" stack is getting genuinely usable. 24GB RAM is the new baseline.

Visual AI coding — Google's AI Studio edit mode (pen annotations, component selection) signals the next phase: direct manipulation meets code generation. Cursor and friends will follow.

Agent infrastructure diverging — MCP, skills, hooks, subagents — the community is starting to properly differentiate these patterns. Expect cleaner architectures as the taxonomy settles.

Zero-VM Linux on Mac — Cocoa Way running Linux apps natively on macOS without a VM is a sleeper hit. If it works well, massive for dev environments.
