About

I'm building Motif, the data layer for the learner-worker that will replace assessment and credentials and help every person find purpose, meaning, and the right job for them. I left gaming after 8 years to do this. I was a director of product on Apex Legends and at Scopely, and prior to that, a professional musician and StarCraft 2 grandmaster.

81% of founders never tell anyone what's actually stressing them out

A founder coach who surveyed hundreds of builders said something that stuck with me: every single person she interviewed used the word "lonely."

MCP is dead, apparently

The Perplexity CTO announced at their developer conference this week that they're moving away from MCP internally. Garry Tan tweeted "MCP sucks honestly." Pieter Levels called it useless. The "MCP is dead, long live the CLI" post hit the top of Hacker News. OpenClaw, the hottest open-source agent project in the world, deliberately chose not to support it.

The argument: MCP tool definitions eat your context window. Auth is clunky. The whole thing is an unnecessary abstraction over APIs that already exist. LLMs are smart enough to call APIs directly, or use CLIs, or write their own integration code. Why add a protocol layer?
