Stop hand-rolling document parsers for your AI apps. Wrestling with PDFs, CSVs, PPTs, and Word docs sucks! @Microsoft’s MarkItDown handles it all, converting complex files straight into LLM-ready Markdown. I wrote a deep dive on how it works and why you should be using it

Tools should remain disposable. Keep your development processes and practices portable.
We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12. We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them. openai.com/index/our-decisio…

There are several free courses and blog posts on my site to show the power of the web browser and local first development. I really like the @duckdb WASM “SQL in the Browser” tutorial. Check it out and let me know if you see the power of local first and SQL.

I created a comprehensive list of all HTML tags. Your agent may opt for <div>, you know otherwise. Your users will thank you! html-tags.com/field-guide

Every agent framework wants to be the center of the universe. When Salesforce needs to talk to SAP, A2A (Agent2Agent) treats them as opaque partners, not dumb function calls. My breakdown of the architecture, production use, & MCP differences: mikezupper.com/posts/a2a-age…

Astro 7.2 is out now! Experimental incremental static builds are here: only re-render the pages that actually changed and watch your build times drop. Plus opt-out session support, background astro preview, and relative logger entrypoints. astro.build/blog/astro-720/
