Heard this funny story from Bhagavati who works at our home in India. She is smart, hardworking, and positive, and always cracks me up. I told her I'd draw it and tell everyone I know. 🦟

Postman is launching one of the most significant updates to our product - the AI Engineer.

Finally reading 'The Namesake' and relating so hard. I look forward to being able to watch the movie next. Irfaan Khan has shown up on my feed too many times now. Cannot ignore.

Today we're introducing Postman Fabric Gateway—an AI-native agent gateway.

Here's why it matters: agents will consume APIs at several orders of magnitude beyond traditional apps. Traditional API Gateways are not designed for AI agents. While many legacy vendors have tried to support agentic workloads, Postman customers have been asking us about something that is AI-native and doesn’t have the baggage of pre-AI architecture.

Postman Fabric has been designed from the ground-up for agents with support for MCPs, CLIs, as well as APIs - both AI and deterministic APIs.

We are building this with a modular architecture as we are still in the early innings of AI and there are many new patterns that are likely to emerge. One thing is certain though, agents are driven by APIs, and you can’t have agent-ready APIs without a purpose-built gateway.

Through Postman Fabric, customers will be able to:

1️⃣ Have a single plane to manage all MCP servers - public or private
2️⃣ Expose internal APIs as MCP tools
3️⃣ Centralize SaaS credentials
4️⃣ Govern agent traffic and run policies at a consumer, route, or service level
5️⃣ Deploy on cloud or in a hybrid model

We are opening up early access soon - let me know if you are interested in the comments or a DM!

[Pratim D Gupta @peedeegee]

The story of Ramayana has lived in so many of us for so long — in grandmother’s voices, in paintings on temple walls, in that black and white box TV with vertical hold button. So when a filmmaker decides to put it on screen in 2026 at this scale, part of you just wants to lean in and believe.

I wanted to lean in. I really did.

And there are moments in this teaser where you can feel what the film is reaching for. The ambition isn’t in question. Neither is the sincerity. This is clearly not a film being made carelessly. Someone cares deeply about this. It’s there in the framing, in the seriousness of it all.

But something isn’t quite landing yet, and I think it’s important to flag it. The attempt here is not to take down the teaser, but to be honest. Because this story, of all stories, deserves honesty.

Ranbir Kapoor is a genuinely gifted actor. I love him. Always have. The issue is something harder to spell out. Ram, as most of us carry him, isn’t expressive in the conventional cinematic sense. He’s still. The stillness of someone who has nothing to prove and has always known it.

What I’m seeing in the teaser feels like an actor carefully trying to suppress his urban softness, his romantic restlessness, that flirtatious boy energy. He is consciously embodying calm rather than someone for whom calm is simply the natural state.

It’s a small thing, but with this character, small things are everything. Maybe I’m jutting the gun and the divine stillness will settle in the actual film.

Then there’s the world the film is building around him.
It looks expensive. It looks polished. But it also looks… untouched. Like a room where no one has ever actually sat down. There’s no dust, no friction, no sense that anyone has sweated or stumbled or lived in these spaces.

Exile should feel like exile. A forest should have weight to it. What we’re getting instead feels more like beautiful environments that the characters have been placed into, rather than places they actually come from or belong.

And that matters more here than it might in any other story. Because Ramayana isn’t placeless. It isn’t a generic myth floating in some borrowed fantasy universe. It’s rooted — in geography, in memory, in something that feels recognisably and specifically ours.

When the visuals start to resemble a global fantasy template you’ve seen somewhere else before, something essential quietly slips away. Like it did in Brahmastra. The VFX didn’t serve the story. The story served the VFX.

None of this means the film is lost. Teasers aren’t films. The texture can still arrive. The performances can still settle. The world can still find its own identity rather than borrowing someone else’s.

But right now, it feels like a magnificent structure that hasn’t quite been lived in yet. The foundation is there. The scale is undeniable. It just needs its soul to show up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Come Diwali, hopefully it will.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Drawing on paper is now a reminder that I still have control. Blank papers feel less scary, mistakes feel cute, pencils feel sexy, and it enables me look at AI more as the tool it's meant to be when I open my laptop to work.

They better keep this closed until they fix this nonsense.

A 4-lane flyover in Mira-Bhayandar suddenly narrows into just 2 lanes. This double-decker flyover is a part of the Metro Line 9 project by JKumar and is set to be inaugurated in February.

Is this how @MMRDAOfficial designs “infrastructure”?

How did this design get approved? 🤷🏻

I've been 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 over this movie lately! The characters are animated with such humanity and authenticity that's absolutely heavenly to watch.

Also here's a shot I found that has some very appealing weight

India’s women just beat Australia in the World Cup semi-final, chasing 339!

This isn’t just a victory

It’s a transformation.

Today is the day when women’s cricket in India stopped asking for attention and started commanding it…

Credit is due. Respect for what's being attempted here. who in design is leading this effort ?!
