Interesting post about this from @swyx.io and crew: www.latent.space/p/why-mcp-won
It seems like the next step up from llmstxt.org
I think the usefulness really depends on if you want repeatable output from your LLM or if you use the LLM to build repeatable process (like terraform for config).

@swyx.io pitched the "React distro" thesis a few years ago:

I think it's a reasonable take / mindset.
The issue is that the React team has effectively stopped supporting the way half the ecosystem uses React, docs/guidance-wise.

React knows which component instance it's rendering based on the current Fiber instance. That gets saved as a module-scoped variable in the hooks impl file, and the hook functions iterate through the list of hooks in a field on that Fiber.
