Why Feature Flags Are a Must in Every Engineering Manager’s Toolkit When I first stepped into an engineering manager role, I quickly learned that moving fast without losing control is one of the hardest balances to strike. Feature flags helped me make that balance rea...

⚔️ Most teams think they have a product/engineering alignment problem.

🏁 Really, they just don’t have feature flags.

🎚️ Flags turn launches into decisions, not deployments—PMs own timing, engineers own flow, and everyone sleeps better. blog.devcycle.com/why-feature-... by @markcallen.bsky.social

MCP Onboarding for Feature Flagging: 3x SDK Installs We rebuilt onboarding around the DevCycle MCP to accelerate feature flagging: IDE-first install in two prompts and 3x more SDK installs.

6 months ago our onboarding looked “fine.”

Nice UI, polished tutorial, solid drop-off rates.

But devs still weren’t hitting SDK install.

So we nuked the tutorial and rebuilt around MCP — where onboarding happens in your editor.

3× more installs.

How do you always go to the worst possible take

MCP Onboarding for Feature Flagging: 3x SDK Installs We rebuilt onboarding around the DevCycle MCP to accelerate feature flagging: IDE-first install in two prompts and 3x more SDK installs.

We learned something big about onboarding:

Even great tutorials can break if they pull developers away from their real workflow.
So we rebuilt onboarding around MCP to bring DevCycle into the IDE.

3× more users now reach SDK install.

MCP Onboarding for Feature Flagging: 3x SDK Installs We rebuilt onboarding around the DevCycle MCP to accelerate feature flagging: IDE-first install in two prompts and 3x more SDK installs.

We rebuilt our onboarding around our MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Now developers start in their editor — not a sandbox.

✅ 3× more SDK installs
⚡️ Faster time to value
🧠 Real product experience from the first prompt

MCP Onboarding for Feature Flagging: 3x SDK Installs We rebuilt onboarding around the DevCycle MCP to accelerate feature flagging: IDE-first install in two prompts and 3x more SDK installs.

We killed our onboarding flow. 🛶

No sandbox. No example app. No “click next to learn more.” 📵

Just two natural-language prompts inside your editor — powered by MCP. ✍️

SDK installs tripled. 3️⃣🙅‍♂️

Sometimes the best tutorial is no tutorial at all. 🤫

Designers want pixels. Devs want control.
TempoLabs gives you both — AI-built React apps, editable like Figma, deployable like code.

If Zapier and GPT had a baby, it’d look a lot like KeyFlow 🐣

Millin just demoed it live at devtoolsTO — agentic workflows that automate knowledge work & scale revenue without scaling headcount. 🔥

MCP Onboarding for Feature Flagging: 3x SDK Installs We rebuilt onboarding around the DevCycle MCP to accelerate feature flagging: IDE-first install in two prompts and 3x more SDK installs.

AI coding assistants just changed what “onboarding” means.

With MCP, we moved DevCycle onboarding into VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code — wherever devs already work.

2 prompts → SDK installed → live feature flag.

3× higher activation.

I want to give a huge shoutout 🙌 to the incredible managers I had at DevCycle—Dinka Nacpil, @bvanvugt.com, and @andrewnorris.bsky.social—for trusting me to represent the brand and giving me the freedom to create and connect with developers in exciting new ways...

Hello from @SAASNORTH 2024 in #Ottawa 🇨🇦💻 DM me if you're here to meetup.

What’s the first thing you do when you arrive at a hotel for #KubeCon? 🛎️🧳

If it’s not “Take a bathroom selfie to get psyched for hosting the OpenFeature Summit,” are you even really attending? 😆

Thrilled to be in Salt Lake with @devcyclehq.bsky.social & can’t wait to kick things off tomorrow! 🚀💙

Had a blast organizing this networking event with
@andrewnorris.bsky.social in Raleigh, but I’d be remiss if I didn't also share the shots of me getting KO'd by an ice cream sundae 😵

Do I regret it? Maybe. But life’s too short to fear the sundae smackdown.

All Things Open 2024 Day 2! Great morning sessions, lunch time! 🥪🥙🧑‍💻#allthingsopen @DevCycleHQ
