Yes! 100% this. I was talking to friends about this and there's gotta be some value in the sessions leading to the commit. I doubt a human would them all while reviewing a PR, but some RAG tool could and then provide more context to another agent or session. Sometimes in a session I like to talk about previous commits and PRs and sessions, and I just wish this all was automatically done.
That solves bandwidth. It fails on tokens.
JSON syntax is heavy. Brackets and quotes consume context window.
More importantly, Schema.org is a dictionary of facts. It lacks behavior. It defines what a product is, but not how to sell it.
It has no concept of @SEMANTIC_LOGIC or @BRAND_VOICE. We need a format that carries both data and instructions efficiently. JSON-LD is too verbose and too static for that.
JSON is lean for data exchange between machines.
But in the LLM economy, the currency is tokens, not bytes.
To an LLM tokenizer, every bracket and quote is a distinct cost. In our tests, this 'syntax tax' accounts for up to 30% of the payload.
We chose a line-oriented format to minimize overhead and maximize the context window for actual commerce data.
I update a spreadsheet with all my accounts and money and their values so I know my net worth and its changes, and oh boy every month getting these numbers is such a chore.
Since it's been a few days, sometimes I am logged out of either bank/traders and also the password manager.
So it's open the bank site, click on login/password, password manager browser extension asks to login. Type password manager password. It asks for 2FA. Unlock phone with face. Find app, open app, unlock app with face. Approve password manager login. Click on bank login/password again. I am in! No, bank wants to 2FA with mobile. Unlock phone with face. Open bank mobile app, unlock with face. Get code or approve login. Back to computer, type code or click approve.
Repeat that 12 times for all the accounts, and by the end of it I have neck pain with all the "pick up phone to face unlock" motions.
I am a bit paranoid so I turn on 2FA and passkeys and whatnot, but all of this makes me want to use `123password` everywhere and never change it.
For me everything goes in Keepass. And the only thing I want in life is the ability to change a password from Keepass in a standardized way.
Instead we've got Passkeys and the general promise by omission that I will be banned from using Keepass to store and backup my passwords as I see fit on my own devices.
People want me to trust the corporate overlords who at every turn have practiced lock in and rent seeking tactics.
In Brazil it's for deliveries but also to avoid traffic, and a cheaper way to get around in more remote areas (people traded their horses for motorcycles!). Only rich people buy motorcycles because it's fun.
This is a good example of how things are rapidly evolving.
Also, the new foundation isn't called "The MCP Foundation", but the "Agentic AI Foundation". Clearly a buzzword-compliant name, but also hedging the bet that MCP will be the long-term central story.
I am not sure, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law is real. CBP agents aren't machines, they will be thinking about rush, boredom, and even job protection as a group (fewer people to do the same job)
I used to work for a company where the SSO screen had a nice corporate happy people at the office type of image. 25mb. I was in Brazil on a crappy roaming 2g service and couldn't login at all. I know most of the work happens on desktop but geee.....
Oh speaking on mobile, I remember when I tried to use Jira mobile web to move a few tickets up on priority by drag and dropping and ended up closing the Sprint. That stuff was horrible.
