Thank you! My only experience with Comic Chat is reading Jerk City comics. Always thought it was a neat concept but never used it

I used it to create a presentation for my talk at a conference last year. https://standefer.com/agent-platform-comic/about.html https://standefer.com/agent-platform-comic/about.html

  I take that comic a bit personal, to be honest - I just returned from a two-month odyssey to find a way of offering our customers a simple way of connecting our MCP Server to their Copilot Chat. Digging through a mindboggling number of documentation that was often outdated, sometimes contradictory, but always written both verbose and yet very light on information was part of that; talking to broken AI chatbots and clueless support staff was, just as trying out four (four!) different ways to create an Agent wrapper - only to discover that multi-tenancy is not supported for any of these, and two of the three SDKs are outdated but still referenced in docs everywhere. What's more, people seemed to be actively confused by the use case ("Why would your customers even want to use an external tool that isn't part of their Microsoft environment?"). I finally found out about "declarative agents", which seem to be able to do what I need. And if I don't trash my computer against the wall out of pure rage over page changes in partner center taking 15 seconds or longer, I might just be able to complete the 40-step form required for the marketplace listing. Progress!

On occasion I meet one of the creators of that professionally. And then I always think of asking him about it. And then I don't do it.

  You should (I assume it's Rands), he clearly does not want to be rembered as a Jerkcity guy now that he's a Serious Palantir Poobah.

    I wonder if bong hits ever helped him with his Makefile.

    I mean, he left Palantir over a decade ago and now he’s supposedly retired (again) - I bet he’s pretty chill about it these days.

  I once worked with nearly all of those guys! A very interesting bunch....

Jerk City lives on, and is now known as Bonequest. Here's today's comic: https://www.bonequest.com/ https://www.bonequest.com/

  Wow just about to hit 10k comics too. No shade on the author intended, as someone with no artistic talent this is a great idea for a way you could make them.
