# Spread the Fire. Don’t Keep It to Yourself.

[Read the post](https://katson.com/spread-the-fire-dont-keep-it-to-yourself/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spread-the-fire-dont-keep-it-to-yourself) · Katson.com (Dmitry Katson, MVP) · 2026-03-09 · 1265 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> Knowledge sharing about AI-powered development and tools in Business Central creates value for the entire community rather than diminishing individual advantage. The author argues that transparency about AI workflows, agentic coding techniques, and development tools ultimately builds reputation and opportunities, as demonstrated by successful community projects and client work.

## Key points

- Sharing knowledge about AI and development techniques strengthens rather than weakens individual value and creates ecosystem-wide benefits
- Community members who publicly shared agentic coding knowledge and tools (MCPs) gained reputation and opportunities despite enabling others
- Advanced performance comes from understanding how to apply publicly available tools and knowledge, not from keeping secrets
- Teaching others to use emerging AI technologies positions knowledge sharers as trusted experts and leaders in the community

## Quotes

- "The difference wasn't the secret. There was no secret. The difference was knowing how to use it." (Emphasizes that competitive advantage comes from expertise and application skills, not information hoarding, which motivates sharing)
- "The people who share knowledge end up winning. Individually and as a community." (Core thesis that knowledge sharing creates mutual benefit and establishes the sharer as a trusted authority)

## Context

- Features: agentic coding tools, AI-powered search, CentralQ.ai, MCPs for AL
