Hello fellow developer, with the OpenClaw hype ebbing down a tad now that it becomes part of OpenAI, all my feeds are full of the next cool thing: WebMCP. It's a standards proposal that promotes agents to first class citizens of the web and the effort necessary to support it in your products is minimal. I wrote a longer WebMCP explainer article on the magazine and we talk to the people in Google who implemented it.

Making agents a first-class citizen of the web with WebMCP
WebMCP is a proposal to standardise the interaction of agents and web apps, both in HTML and on a programmatic level. It is now available in Chrome Canary and you can start making your products agent ready. We sat down with Andre Cipriani Bandarra and François Beaufort of Google to learn more about it. And now you can, too!
Powering startups 2 - 5 March 2026 | Fira Gran Via, Barcelona | 4YFN Entrance

WeAreDevelopers is heading to Mobile World Congress / 4YFN in Barcelona! On March 5, we’re hosting a panel titled “AI Won’t Steal Your Job, But…”. The discussion will cut through the hype and focus on how engineering and tech teams are actually building with AI today, how roles are shifting, and what this means in real organizational terms. If you’re around, join us and say hi. We’d love to connect!

Procrastination corner and Wonderful Weird Web

  • Battle-tested components forged in Azeroth.
  • Discover games from Hacker News
  • Pick the time you have, and we'll build a focused Wikipedia rabbit hole

Career and Culture:

  • Leveraging tech communities for your career
