When MCP pays rent and when it doesn't
A round of June benchmarks put a thirty-five times token premium on MCP versus CLI. The number changed how we decide which tool boundary deserves the cost.
Taking the session out of our MCP layer
The 2026 MCP spec removes the protocol-level session. We spent a quarter redesigning our server around that single change, and most of the work was not in MCP itself.

Microsoft Build 2026 reframed Windows as the runtime for autonomous agents. The interesting part is not the keynote line. It is where the constraints land.
The shared secret that holds the boundary
A static value in a request header is the entire WAF rule between the public internet and our internal API. We think about why that is the right call and what would change our minds.
Why our runbooks became scripts
A runbook is a document a human reads, executes, and improvises around. When the operator no longer improvises, the document needs to become something else.
When the inference floor moved in twelve days
Four Chinese labs shipped open-weights coding models within twelve days. The question is no longer whether they catch up. It is what the new floor changes.
What an orbital data center story is actually about
The press called it a space data center. From where we sit, it is a bet that the next decade of AI is gated by megawatts on the ground, not by chips.
