Going to a lot more conferences, talking with many more people, and it seemed like things were just getting bigger and bigger and crazier and crazier all the time.
It seemed like iterations of the spec were coming out.
People were reinventing things.
It got to the point where I think a lot of companies or organizations were like, we're just not going to implement this right now because we're worried the spec is going to change again.
It's too fraught, yeah.
Yeah, it got very fraught.
We actually pulled back a little bit from it because I think in September I could definitely feel this fatigue just creeping in.
I was talking with more people and they sort of started pulling back from going to conferences related to it.
I think everybody was just getting tired of trying to keep up with the spec in the evolving landscape.
I think Simon Wilson had this great quote, which is a lot of people were just adopting MCP for lack of their own AI roadmap.
And so I think there's something along those lines.
I forget the exact word, but I was paraphrasing it.
But I got that sense too.
A lot of people were sort of chasing this thing because they thought it was the right thing to chase for them to actually come up with an AI strategy.
And it just got more and more complex for them.
And I think a lot of people started pulling the shoots, pulling the cords, and slowing down to regroup a little bit into the fall.
And that's sort of how we felt too.
It's just like the more we sort of dug into it, the crazier things seemed to get.
So we're like, you know what?
We just need to take a step back and simplify our own thinking and focus on a couple of problems that we want to solve as opposed to trying to chase all of them, which is what MCP felt like it was doing.
