Highlights
Went to @AnthropicAI Model Context Protocol (MCP) hackathon and generative AI has completely changed the way we code. I grew up doing hackathons and this felt unrecognizable:
- @cursor_ai @codeiumdev on most screens, although hardcore coders stuck with VSCode, Sublime Text, etc
- @GeminiApp for uploading MCP documentation and asking questions (large context windows matter!)
- @AnthropicAI for debugging: it's the best LLM for copy-pasting code blocks and solving arcane issues
- @OpenAI Canvas and @AnthropicAI Claude Artifacts for quick prototyping and rapid JSON tasks
- @github is still a staple for everyone
People were parallel programming with AI at a breakneck speed, and projects came together in hours that would’ve taken days 🐌
