Weekend listening: went on the Chain of Thought podcast and talked about building my AI chief of staff MARVIN from scratch. Good one for a walk or some yard work. open.spotify.com/episode/70sb...

Went on @ConorBronsdon's Chain of Thought podcast and shared my whole framework for building an AI chief of staff. Treat it like a junior hire. Onboard it. Give it context. Let it grow. 40 days later, mid-level. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFT-...

The new Postman unified workbench finally looks like an IDE. Native git, Agent Mode, API Catalog, and a workspace that actually feels like home for developers. I'm genuinely excited for March 1st. This is Postman becoming what I've always wanted it to be.

The scariest question you can ask an enterprise team: "How many APIs do you actually have running in production?" API Catalog in the new Postman gives you that answer. Finally. Launches March 1st.

if you use Cursor (or any AI editor), stop repeating yourself every session. Cursor Rules + Postman MCP = an AI assistant that actually remembers your API patterns. wrote up how to set it up. starter kit included: github.com/Postman-Devr...

Just dropped: how to connect Cursor to your Postman workspace via MCP. Set up the MCP server, search APIs from the editor, generate client code, and keep docs in sync as you build. youtu.be/cKUXopUlGPg

Agent Mode in @getpostman finally lets you pick your model. Opus 4.5, GPT 5.2, whatever works for you. Sounds small. It's not. About damn time. (support for Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.3 coming soon too) The new Postman drops March 1st.

MCP Apps recently launched. AI tools can now return interactive UIs instead of just text. Postman already supports them. New post breaks down what this means for API developers. 🔗https://buff.ly/cru6lbq

Been testing Postman's native Git workflows for months. .postman directory in my repo. Collections in feature branches. Environments that merge with my code. It's about damn time. 🔥 The new Postman drops March 1st.

I spent the weekend building an agent skill for Postman. Seriously, Anthropic's skills are wicked awesome.

You're vibe coding wrong (And it's not your fault) Last week I was talking with a colleague about all the side projects I've got going on, and he said offhandedly "After hearing how you code now, I think I'm vibe coding wrong." It's all on my Substack! open.substack.com/pub/sterling...

I've always wanted to be an action figure! I love this prompt from Gemini that took a photo of me and turned me into an action figure.

Thank you to everyone who attended my session at API World last week on Building Agenting Workflows with MCP. After my session, I had quite a few attendees ask me for the slides. Over the weekend I updated my website (www.sterlingchin.com#talks) with many of my recent talks!

AI passes the Turing test, but it's not conscious. I've been mulling this over for a few months, but then @mustafasuleymanai.bsky.social's essay where he coined the phrase "Seemingly Conscious AI" took it over the top The reality is that we're not ready for SCAI open.substack.com/pub/sterling...

What are the odds, just enjoying a glass of wine and some apps at the Boroughs Market in London, and someone walks up and asks about my shirt. Yes, MCP is everywhere now! By the way, you can find the shirt here: www.etsy.com/listing/4313...

I have watched this clip a hundred times and I still giggle EVERY. SINGLE. TIME @willjohnson.bsky.social and @focusotter.bsky.social brought a special kind of energy to Web Dev Challenge I don't think we will (should?) see on the show again 😆 full episode: codetv.link/wdc/s2e1

I feel like I live in a bubble in a bubble. I spent some time over the weekend with some long time friends who are also developers. We started talking shop, as one does when you're in a group of developers.

WEB DEV CHALLENGE IS BACK 🔥 this was a HUGE effort by so many people and I can’t wait for y’all to see what we have in store this season - team challenges - upgraded studio - bigger builds - even more web dev fun watch the full first episode now: codetv.link/wdc/s2e1

Had a blast this week on the Web Dev Challenge with partner @dorkrawk.bsky.social ! Thanks @jason.energy @codetv.dev @getpostman.bsky.social for the experience and all my new friends @focusotter.bsky.social @willjohnson.bsky.social @sterlingchin.bsky.social @abbeyperini.dev @dangitalex.wtf

This week I'm heading to Berkeley to participate in a video shoot for @getpostman.bsky.social, and be on the Stack Overflow podcast. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it all.

Tech leadership is about surrounding yourself with the right people. People who don't always agree with you. People who will challenge your assumptions. People who will provide feedback. But it has to be built around trust. Trusting those around you.
