I'm teaming up with @sa.muelcolvin.com to launch a new meetup series, Py AI. Our first one is November 11 in San Francisco with talks from @pydantic.dev, @modal-labs.bsky.social, ReductoAI and @fastmcp.bsky.social. Hosted by our friends at pebblebed.com RSVP here: luma.com/gjtfecc7

In a recent post, @chris.blue argues that MCP is an unnecessary and temporary kludge on the decline and facing an uncertain future. IMO it standardizes how agents have stateful, identity-aware conversations. aaazzam.substack.com/p/the-apolog...

We didn't invent assets, but we're Prefecting them. We spent a long time getting this right, and it paid off. Our goal was to let people show up with functioning python scripts and let them add data lineage with zero migrations, rewrites, cruft or goofy abstractions.

Wait so mcp auth is oauth through Claude AI, bearer header if by openAI SDK, and “secret url” if Claude SDK?

start of an era @jlowin.dev and @cicdw.dev

Great piece by @cicdw.dev on Task Runners in @prefect.io. By decoupling the definition of what to execute from how to execute it, graduating from threads to @raydistributed is a line of code.

Our next OSS love letter

when I see a /dags folder

I asked Operator to browse the Airflow docs and it just started googling “how to fake your own death”.

Wow I did not see that coming

@alternatebuild.dev watching me try to get pre-commit to run

Super excited for this one. Prefect 💙 scitkit-learn

Can’t wait until they ascend to “dropped out with a masters and went intro industry” level of intelligence.

I’ll allow it

Help! I have a new favorite meme format but can’t decide on the best punchline. 🙇 #databs plz I’m begging you.

Horseshoe theory in devtools: merchants of complexity and simplicity more or less the same villain.

Merchants of simplicity heckling “can you define an agent?” — plz save me a seat in your online course.

We did it, @prefect.io

I'll be speaking next week at the virtual Prefect Summit 2025! Come hear me blame vendors and platform teams for holding back ML engineers. Register now: prefec.tv/40jt7T4

If you’ve read my skeets, you know we’re dope and build dope shit at @prefect.io But we’ve never explained how or why. Tune in next week for this exclusive documentary.

@prefect.io almost at 18K stars on GitHub. People of earth, lend me your energy!

your friend using @prefect.io and the one stuck maintaining @apache-airflow.bsky.social

Every DAG has its day Join us Jan 22-23: prefec.tv/3ONKUfH

At @prefect.io

Founders placing bets in 2025

Oh man if you thought defining Agents was hard wait until you see folks try to define Durable Execution.

Spent the week in Half Moon Bay opening our new “office”. Perfect environment to focus, design, and ship.

Good SDK design is way harder than visual design IMO.

🚀 @prefect.io

"luigi data engineer" has taken on a completely new meaning

Uhh can we talk about how having kids ruins your Spotify wrapped.

How come it’s always “what are you doing in my house” and never “*how* are you doing in my house?”

Here's a FastMCP server that lets Claude see your desktop. This is the *entire* server. > fastmcp install examples/screenshot.py

You need an orchestrator to make sure your code runs in the right order? Huh?

“Our team of 48 has over 12 years experience in B2B SaaS.”

What part of the modern data stack are, like, uncontroversially not a thing anymore? We still doing data contracts? #databs

Going to start a march madness bracket for mundane tasks that I can never remember how to do. What's in yours?

Annual reminder that the right tail of most fields are better scientists/statisticians/engineers than P85 of STEM fields. Internalize this and recruiting becomes ezpz. Source: I ran Insight Data Science in New York City for a few years.

This, and couched in the size of the user base. Data and product are so different for sub-100, sub-1000, sub-10000 DAUs. Most stuff is written for consumer social, where you have to get creative by virtue of the problem’s scale. But if you can just talk to a representative sample, do it!
