Unexpected Audience Mix At KCDC
- Dan Vega described giving an MCP talk at KCDC and realizing he needed to broaden the abstract for non-Java attendees.
- He wished he'd written the abstract to teach MCP fundamentals first before Java specifics.
Use AI To Refine, Not Replace
- Use AI to polish abstracts but don't let it write them end-to-end.
- Sketch your core message first, then use AI to refine tone and wording.
Talk Then Transcribe Before Prompting
- Record and transcribe your spoken thoughts before feeding them to an LLM to preserve tone and intent.
- Use the transcript as the prompt base so outputs match your natural language.
