How to create a Model Context Protocol Resource – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #03
The AIs are good at being a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, but their memory is limited. How can you make sure they don’t forget all that loot you just got, or ensure that cobbler back in the village remembers the type of boots you orders and paid for up front? I’ll show you…

Spy on the DM with Model Context Protocol Servers in Java – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #02
Not only can you give more direction to the AI when you’re playing solo D&D with it, you can start to understand how it thinks. I walk through how to use MCP Server tools to enhance solo roleplaying with Claude (and ChatGPT, etc.) and how to get extra information about how the AI is thinking.…

Solo Roleplaying D&D: Make full character sheets for NPCs
When playing solo D&D, try making full on characters for the major NPCs.

I’ve been playing through Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden and I applied this…

Enterprise AI is a feature, not an app
An enterprise AI strategy probably means adding AI to your existing apps and workflows, not just standing up a stand-alone AI app. We experience generative AI as chatbots in the consumer space – and they’re great! – but this doesn’t seem like the best approach for business applications. Think about search. We don’t even notice…

IncrativeOps – or notes from a recovering thought-leader
If you can’t be at DevOpsDays Des Moines later this week (or stackconf in Berlin next week) to see the final version of this presentation, here’s my first time running through it. It container about 20 minutes of…uh…bonus material.* Meaning, things I need to cut.

Pair Programming in the Department of…

The community is moving
The people in my tech community who talk about community find Twitter so vile that there’s little discussion of the good parts. It was a great place for discovering, building, and “doing” community. And it still is, though mixed in with all the other stuff1. This history of DevOps, cloud stuff, and everything that followed…
