i shipped one of the first production mcp servers at a fortune 500.
not a demo. not a tutorial. real users, real auth, real analytics.
7 things nobody tells you before you do this 🧵

[dax @thdxr]

if you are a programmer and you'd like to start a company it is helpful to internalize two big weaknesses you have

1. your instincts for anything outside programming are terrible. everything you believe is likely 100% backwards

2. you've always been treated like the smart person in the room so it will take you a very long time to understand #1

for me personally it took ~ 10 years before i started to be able to unwind this

Great session hosted by @Ozacle23 and @gadekarjay30 🙌

Three things I'm taking with me:
- Narrative is everything
- Growth tactic: inspire, inform, instigate
- Work with non-linear people

Special thanks to the man with the iconic hat, @nitprashant

@striver_79 If you start as a fresher or a developer with ~2 years experience, what would you do to grow in your career? Given all the potential agents have these days, what skills would u focus on acquiring?

AI induced imposter syndrome...

I had shipped products that have
- 12k+ active users
- $10M+ revenue
I even have side projects that have 4k MAU

But still, I don't feel confident in the way I used to feel 2 years ago, when I was a college graduate. That's mostly due to the AI used in my work. I wasn't able to distinguish what's my ability and contribution, and what's AI's contribution.

Hence started an interesting side project to get back the confidence that I can still architect/code e2e on my own

More on that soon 🔜

7. the protocol will move. ship anyway.

mcp spec keeps evolving. we shipped on a version that was outdated within months.
nothing broke. the lesson: AI infra in 2026 means choosing to ship into moving ground. waiting for stability is how you become the team that didn't ship.

i'm indira. i build and write abt AI products. more at https://t.co/QWriMSQM1X.

6. write your tool descriptions like prompts, because they are.

the LLM picks tools based on your description text. vague descriptions = wrong tool calls = users blaming your product.
we rewrote ours 4 times before usage stabilized. every tool got 2-3 concrete examples.

@NealGardner_ I still feel we lack elite full backs. Psg ain't winning 2 UCL if not for nuno and hakimi.
Balde has to step up and improve.

But compared to any other elite team, full backs are our greatest weakness I feel
