We came to for the people, the open source conversations, and, of course, a little Markdown. 💜
What we left with was a much bigger question about where AI agents are heading.
MCP is making it easier for your agents to connect to the tools your team uses, but they still need to understand how your team actually works.
That context increasingly lives in Markdown.
Your runbooks, architecture decisions, agent instructions, skill files, and documentation are becoming part of the infrastructure that helps AI understand your team.
We pulled together what we learned from RenderATL 2026, including conversations about Node.js, open-source sustainability, AI infrastructure, and the people building it all.
Give our full recap a read below 👇

Two days at AmericasMart, one badge, and a through-line nobody planned. Justin Samuels, Robin Bender Ginn, Claudio Wunder, and Ethan Arrowood on stage; MCP and SKILL.md files in every hallway between them.
