MCP is dead. Long live the CLI (5 minute read)
MCPs can be replaced by CLIs (command line interfaces) most of the time. This is because CLIs are composable and debuggable for both humans and LLMs, and they often don't require any extra background processes. As a result, CLIs should be preferred over MCPs in most cases.

Creating Query Abstractions (8 minute read)
Custom hooks are the wrong way to abstract useQuery, as they lock you into one hook, get messy with TypeScript generics, and can't be used outside components. Instead, use queryOptions to define your key and fetch function once, then spread it into whatever hook you need (useQuery, useSuspenseQuery, etc.) with per-usage options on top.

Claude Adds Ability to Import Memory From Other AI Providers (2 minute read)
Anthropic has launched a new memory import tool for Claude, allowing users to transfer their accumulated context and preferences from other AI providers like ChatGPT or Gemini. The process is simple: users paste a special prompt into their current AI, copy the output, and then paste it into Claude's memory settings. This easy transferability suggests there's still no good lock-in or moat in the LLM industry.
