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!

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

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 😆

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.

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.
