This week’s edition of my @… newsletter shines a light on the impact of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) across multiple computing eras—leading right up to today.
We’ve arrived at a moment where loose coupling principles are cool (and super useful) again.
Naturally, there are some live demo nuggets in the post to help bring it all to life:

The Model Context Protocol: Bridging Generational Computing Experiences
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as a transformative force in computing, with its significance uniquely appreciated across generational lines. This new protocol serves as crucial middleware for LLM-powered productivity tools, addressing needs that previous computing paradigms couldn't fu

Good Morning #Canada
Another day in history... another invading force from the USA. Those pesky Fenians were back on this day in 1866, and this time, the 1,800 Irish-Americans riders were repelled back to the United States after they looted and plundered around Saint-Armand and Frelighsburg, Quebec. Although the Fenian raids were unsuccessful, they did encourage the Canadian provinces to band together for defense, leading to our Confederation as a country.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies. Answers to questions:
Many people asked for the context. This is for college students using what they already know about the order of arithmetic operations to start analyzing the structure of code. In the activity, they visual code structures using these kind of diagrams. The important thing here is thus not just subtraction; it’s this way of visualizing the relationships — and there already is a sight-centeric word, “visualize!” But I suspect a blind reader could also use these spatial relationships as a learning tool…if there were a good way of conveying the spatial relationships.

Hey, folks who understand alt text and limited vision accessibility:
I have need to write alt text for the diagram below. The alt text needs to be comprehensible to somebody who is encountering this kind of diagram for the ••very first time••. I could describe the images using the relevant jargon, but that would only serve people who already know the thing this activity is teaching them!
Any suggestions for how I could write good alt text for something like this? Is it possible? (The horizontal black bars are minus signs, i.e. subtraction. This is clear from context in the text, but probably not clear in the image.)
PLEASE NOTE: I am looking for people with ••relevant accessibility expertise••, not just random best shots from people who (like me) don’t really know much about this kind of problem.
