The next chapter EpicAI.pro

Takeaways

• Kent C. Dodds announces EpicAI.pro—next education platform after Testing JavaScript, Epic React, and Epic Web—focused on AI-native application architecture, not vendor hype.
• Thesis: UI paradigm shifts from forms/buttons to conversational agents orchestrating multi-service workflows; developers must build machine-consumable interfaces.
• Four curriculum pillars: designing for AI interaction, structuring data/capabilities, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and security/reliability (auth, tool poisoning, etc.).
• Launch path: free live event live-coding an MCP server; EpicAI.pro under construction with enduring-principles framing (skeptical of blockchain/NFT-style hype cycles).
• Positions MCP as the standard for agents to discover and use app capabilities securely.

Notes

Strong alignment with vault agentic lane and existing MCP/Raindrop/QMD tooling. Complements Simon Willison’s Agentic Engineering Patterns and Kent’s prior testing/React teaching style.

Open questions

• How much of EpicAI.pro MCP curriculum overlaps with hands-on patterns already in vault skills vs. net-new architecture guidance?
