Musings: The #MCP architecture has real issues (discovery, isolation, security risks). Intermediaries are already popping up with stopgaps, but many concerns require long-term fixes at the protocol level; not just workarounds. What path forward for MCP? #AI #Protocols www.reddit.com/r/mcp/commen...

The wall broke away in a suspiciously cartoony jagged line, but I guess the point was whether a Tesla would hit the wall or not; construction of the wall was never the objective.

Often times, major software upgrades are given a minor version number bump (because the mfr doesn’t want to scare people off of their big change). And minor updates often get a big version bump (when the mfr doesn’t have much else to talk about)
