Positions We Hold
10 bold claims backed by building experience.
- #1
REST Is Dead. MCP Is the Application Protocol.
Request-response APIs are being replaced by persistent tool connections that give AI agents direct access to enterprise systems.
- #2
MCP Apps: How We'll Build Software in the AI Era
Applications will be composed from MCP servers, not coded from scratch. Upjack is the first framework built on this premise.
- #3
Applications Won't Be Coded. They'll Be Declared.
Applications will be composed from schemas and skills, not coded from scratch.
- #4
The Pilot Graveyard Is a $50B Problem
95% of AI pilots fail to reach production because they solve the technology problem without solving the context problem.
- #5
AI Consultancies That Don't Build Can't Ship
If your AI partner doesn't build and maintain their own tools, they can't deliver production systems.
- #6
Context Engineering Is the Real Skill. Not Prompt Engineering.
The real advantage in AI is structuring business context, not crafting prompts.
- #7
Your Business Needs a Schema, Not a Strategy Deck
A JSON schema that defines your business is worth more than a 50-page strategy deck.
- #8
Open Source Is the Only Trust Model for AI Infrastructure
Proprietary AI infrastructure is a liability. The only safe infrastructure is infrastructure you can inspect, fork, and self-host.
- #9
The 6-Month AI Implementation Is a Scam
Accenture charges $200K+ for 6-12 month AI implementations. We ship 8-12 production automations in 4 weeks for $50K. The timeline gap isn't complexity. It's business model.
- #10
Conversation Is the Last Interface
Every interface in computing history has been a step toward natural language. Conversation is the terminal state. CWA is not a feature. It's the endgame.
