Last week, we open-sourced the ToolHive Desktop UI to make it easier and more secure to install, manage, and run #MCP servers. We would love your feedback! If you like the project, show your support ⭐

Feels weird to post about the little stuff at the moment, but I'm talking at both Devnexus and JavaOne this year about debugging issues. I'm very happy with the way the presentation is coming together. Distilling 10 years of tracker content into 60 mins is pretty challenging!

About a week ago, I started work on this MCP Server. It's the latest incarnation of an MCP Server I've created several times before. This time I started fresh to build it with the new stuff coming in Spring AI 1.0.0-M6. And for grins, I chose to write it in Kotlin.

How to be a critical thinker:

1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with

2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike

3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas

It's great to see so many companies contributing to #oss software. Harvard estimates the value of open source software at 8.8 trillion, so I'm left wondering if this level of funding is enough or whether companies need to invest more in initiatives such as improving software supply chain security.
