It's time to build Jarvis with Kent C. Dodds


Listen Later

Today we have the excellent Kent C. Dodds on the program. Kent is an amazing teacher in the web development space, and I've learned a ton from him about React, JavaScript testing, and general web dev.


Lately, Kent has been going all-in on AI, especially with the model context protocol (MCP) space. He's sharing a ton of useful material in this area as he works on a new course. We spent a lot of time going over what MCP is, why it's useful, and why Kent thinks our own personal Jarvis is the next step.

We cover a bunch of other topics too, like what it's like putting on a conference (Epic Web Conf) plus how AI has changed the educational space.
Check it out!
