Welcome, Developers! 👋 What happens when APIs meet AI agents, and why your Android app might be breaking? This week we explore how MCP is revolutionizing AI-API interactions and dive into RSC's dual-world architecture. Also find today: Strategic AI placement in UIs, the hidden complexity of Android maintenance, and finding joy in self-hosting. |

🔌 MCP vs API Traditional HTTP APIs were designed for human developers, not AI agents, creating reliability issues when LLMs generate requests. MCP solves this by letting LLMs pick tools while deterministic code handles execution, eliminating common problems like formatting errors and parameter hallucinations. |

âš¡ How Imports Work in RSC RSC applications are essentially single programs spanning two computers with separate module systems. Regular imports work normally within each environment, while 'use client' and 'use server' create references to the other world without importing code. |

☕ Maintaining an Android App Is a Lot of Work Maintaining Android apps requires constant adaptation to breaking changes, library deprecations, and forced upgrades across the entire toolchain. A hobby developer shares five years of experience maintaining MusicSync, revealing why Google Play saw a 47% decline in apps. The complexity has grown far beyond simple coding. |

😊 Self-Host & Tech Independence Beyond technical benefits lies the satisfaction of using systems you built yourself. Escaping subscription hell while learning valuable skills creates genuine happiness. Each successfully deployed service brings pride and builds momentum for tackling bigger challenges. |

o3-pro OpenAI's o3-pro is based on o3 but thinks longer to provide highly reliable responses. It costs $20/million input tokens and $80/million output tokens, significantly cheaper than o1-pro, which charges $150/$600 for million input/output tokens respectively. |
