What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)? MCP aims to standardize AI tool integration, potentially simplifying development and enabling more capable AI assistants. Current adoption is limited.

I'm drowning in MCP content, but a lot of it doesn't have the full story on what MCP actually fixes. 🤷‍♀️

This is my cheeky attempt to remedy that—a mental model for devs, so you can figure out for yourself if it's garbage or the future.

What is an AI Agent? AI agents use models, loops, memory, and tools to automate complex tasks. Learn how they work, their evolution, and their practical uses and limitations.

Ever feel like you've heard the word "agent" so many times that it ceased to mean anything?

Hard same.

So, I dug up some history and technical deets about AI agents to contextualize the hype.

(🙈Spoiler: it's not really the LLMs blocking progress.)

A screenshot from my Bloom Filters blog post, showing a visualisation of the bits inside a bloom filter after the words "loved" and "your" have been added. There is also a code sample visible that reads: let bf = new CountingBloomFilter(); bf.add("loved"); bf.add("your"); bf.remove("response"); bf.contains("loved"); // false

A screenshot from my Queueing blog post. A list of goals can be seen that says: - Add 15 requests to each queue. - Add 10 priority requests to each queue. - Drop 15 requests. - Drop 10 priority requests. Below this task list can be seen a visualisation of 4 different queues.

A screenshot of my Turing Machines blog post. A Turing Machine running the first program seen in Alan Turing's 1936 paper can be seen, it prints alternative 0s and 1s to the tape.
