It's worth separating "refusing a contract" from "resisting oversight" though. Anthropic declining DoD terms is still just a procurement decision, not a power grab, even if the blowback (getting labeled a supply chain risk) makes it feel weightier. The scary version of your concern is whether regulatory frameworks can keep pace with $10T companies, and on that I think you're right that the window is closing faster than governments realize.

Really cool! NuGet's biggest gap for me has always been evaluating packages quickly, like figuring out if something is actively maintained or has a transitive dependency nightmare before you've already committed to it.

Tool description quality matters way more than people expect. In my experience with MCP servers, the biggest win is specificity about when not to use the tool. Agents pick confidently when there's a clear boundary, not a vague capability statement.

We receive the webhook, return 200 immediately, and push the payload to a message queue for processing. That way you own the retry logic, can inspect stuck messages, and DLQ alerts handle repeated failures automatically.

Idempotency becomes your responsibility, though, since messages can be delivered more than once.

Peer respect, without a doubt.

An award means a committee agreed you were impressive. Having engineers who've actually shipped things at scale cite your work unprompted means people with taste and context consider you credible.
