Your AI companion to do some quick research

I didn’t expect my first “can’t-put-it-down” book of the year to be… a nonfiction about the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and a serial killer. But here we are. 😅

I picked up The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, and it’s wild in the best way. Two threads running side by side: Daniel Burnham, the architect behind the Fair and a serial killer who used the chaos and crowds to lure victims.

What’s sticking with me (so far) is this Burnham line: “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized.”

It immediately made me think of Sam Altman’s take: “The most counterintuitive secret about startups is that it’s often easier to succeed with a hard startup than an easy one.”

Different eras, same idea: big, audacious goals create energy. They attract talent. They pull you through inevitable mess. They give people a reason to care.

Agent ecosystem needs to evolve beyond text -> into UI.

To get there, it looks like we’re converging on two strategies. Here are my notes from a third-party perspective:

MCP/ChatGPT Apps
- you ship a web UI component that the host embeds in an iframe
- UI controlled by you; can be more rich and interactive
- you make sure it works on cross-platform surfaces (mobile, web, etc)
- now under Agentic AI Foundation, Linux Foundation

A2UI by Google
- your agent emits a declarative UI spec (data, not executable code) for the host to render
- more native UI experience for user
- you don't have to worry about cross-platform differences
- A2A is under Linux Foundation, A2UI could follow a similar path

It's not one or the other, a host can support both. It’ll be interesting to see how adoption plays out in 2026

@dibbaa_code Can confirm! here in SF for a month from Seattle, no one is building voice agents there

Best part? It’s free!

Learning to code is more important NOW than ever.

To vibe code is to command an army of tireless bots that can build whatever you want.

But you gotta be a soldier first before being a good commander.

Such an amazing time to be alive!

I vibe coded the Airbnb MCP server on top of the Google Maps MCP server 😂

[Jeremy Fox 🦊 @JeremyDanielFox]

Fun fact: the Google Maps MCP server was vibe coded by a designer on our team who is not otherwise a coder. It was also one of the first MCP servers ever written.
