they invented MCP, Skills, made these standards open so anyone could build the harness around them.

MCP is barely an invention. It's a fuzzy spec detailing a pretty obvious design pattern.
I'm trying to think of a standard this doesn't apply to
LLM is barely an invention. It's an auto complete we had years before.
Also I'm a little bitter, prior to this I never had trouble getting my username on websites. No one used this combination of 4 letters for godamn anything.

All gone, for shitty typeahead

damn hipsters.
LLM is not comparable to MCP or skills. There's no way I could've come up with LLMs on my own. Anyway Claude Code is the best.
All harness feels uncomplicated.
No, there's a lot of subtlety in AI harnesses
To be fair, MCP and Skills do not have any source code. It is fundamentally impossible to release either standard without making it open.
this pre-IPO is gonna be incredible
It's going to be dramatic - it's unclear how much of their DAUs are organic and how much is through their PE usage deals. There's a large amount of organic usage certainly, it's a useful tool, but there are quite a few of the tell tale signs that they have an internal number they want their user acquisition to be at and they're failing to meet that through organic growth.
I have this image in mind [1] - I wonder how it shifted over time.
