What the hell is this weather NYC?! 😱🥵

Introducing Kiro - I've been testing it out for a while. It's truly a game changer. Spec-driven development and agent hooks are a new paradigm in AI-assisted development. Check it out! 👻 kiro.dev

Quick trial of AWS new IDE called Kiro, compared to my current favourite tool - Claude Code.. I gave the same task to Kiro and to Claude Code. First and foremost, I love how Kiro makes requirements > design > build a first-class citizen. That's by far the best workflow at the moment, and making...

Well, this is awkward. AWS released a Cursor clone and it's... actually not terrible? It may be time to re-evaluate my life. kiro.dev/blog/introdu...

I'm feeling spooky today! 👻

For this weekend! I have unopened copies of something vintage from our friends over at Microsoft 😍 Microsoft Excel 2.1 and Microsoft Windows/286 ❤️

I thought we were ready for Wayland. I'll try again in 6 months!

Can you smell these old manuals?

What a way to end a week! Got my hands on a couple of Data General One laptops ! 😍 These (unfortunate ) laptops from the mid 1980s were quite one of their kind! A Minicomputer manufacturer making personal laptops? Preposterous 🤯 Expect an unboxing and demo video soon! ❤️

Grilling never stops 🥩🔥

Weeks worth of chicken! 🔥

Whoa! 🤯 2000 subscribers on my YouTube channel! Thank you so much for checking out my content there 😭😍

I did not know that Blind is *so racist*. The amount of hateful comments, talking crap about foreigners, visa holders, "they took our jobs" is scary! As a visa holder myself, I am truly appalled by the fact that my colleagues in tech have such a shit opinion of us. Goodbye Blind! 👋

Do you use zsh? Did you know you can make it even better? 🤔 In the video below I go over three tips…tools? Whatever , I use in my zsh configuration that save me those precious keyboard taps! dotfiles linked in the video ❤️ (Bonus: a kitty 😻) youtu.be/llVsxmcOlwo?... #zsh #linux #commandline

As I was recording a video last night, I had a fuzzy guest join me! 😻

New blog post where I look at some new experimental features in Amazon Q CLI that can help you manage your context window. dev.to/aws/manage-c...

🔥 Just dropped a deep-dive on building MCP servers with Dart for the Flame Engine! You will learn how to build MCP server both with AI assistance AND manually with full explanations. Perfect for Flutter game devs who want AI that actually understands Flame and more! 🎮 Full blog: bit.ly/4nwVtUM

I could really use your help looking for Senior++ Technical Writer roles or intermediate++ Developer Relations roles. I'm looking to stay in Germany. I'm also considering building up a freelance pipeline but realistically full time work makes my visa situation way easier. Please RT for reach 🙇‍♀️

☝️ zsh pro tip: If you are using 'vi' mode in Zsh, and want to edit your current command using your $EDITOR, these three lines in your .zshrc will enable you to do so by hitting `Esc` + 'v'

Did you know that Amazon Q Developer CLI is written in Rust 🦀? Take a peek at behind the code: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lG0...

Finally set up my little retro corner 😍 Should be a good backdrop for videos!👏

Rust 🦀 + Postgres 🐘 + sqlx compile time queries = ♥️ If my SQL is wrong, the compiler actually catches it! 😍

🚀 New AWS Bites episode! We tried Amazon #DSQL so you don’t have to (but you might want to) 👀 Luciano and Eoin put Aurora DSQL through its paces in #AWS Bites #Podcast Episode 145 🧵 Here’s what we found:

For all Rust 🦀 and AWS SDK fans out there. Here is how you can limit the max retries of your SDK calls. Very useful if you are invoking Lambda functions, that could cause a cascade of invocations!

Do you use multi-threading/parallel processing? 🤔 Last night I started looking into parallel processing with Rust 🦀. And, for the first time, I ran into *semaphores*. The way semaphores are implemented in Rust and Tokio, is so elegant! I will be digging deeper into this, so expect some content! ❤️

Back in 1980 you could lease a Tandy TRS 80 Model II for your business. For a whopping $250 / month (around $975 today). Or ... you could pay the "$7000 in value" (~ $27 000 today) for the whole system 😅 Thought of you @thevowel.bsky.social

Is Ratatui embedded yet? We have some news! 📢🧀 ➡️ Read the blog post here: jslazak.com/are-we-embed... #rustlang #ratatui #tui #embedded

You can now easily upgrade to a Q Developer Pro subscription through the Q CLI! Just run the command /subscribe to link your Builder ID to the AWS account that will be billed the monthly subscription fee. Install Q CLI to experience a lightning fast, agentic coding experience: go.aws/4c5BnM4

I think Rust 🦀 Lambda functions may be a tad bit faster than Python ones! 🤩

Just a Commodore 64 I recorded last week! ❤️

Once upon a time we had computing hardware that looked cool.

I’m a computer person!

Why is there 80g of sugar in this Fanta? 🫠

Amazon Q CLI, my favourite AI coding assistant, now has MCP support. I spent some time this morning playing around with it, and in just a few minutes you too can have your favourite MCP Server tools available within your Amazon Q CLI sessions. dev.to/aws/configur...

I am often reminded how much more patience we used to have back in the day ❤️

aws / amazon-q-developer-cli: ✨ Add autocomplete and AI to your existing terminal on macOS & Linux ★390 https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli

Registrations for the biggest @awscloud.bsky.social conference on the Balkans are now open. See you in #Sarajevo on September 5th at the AWS Community Day Adria. awscommunityadria.com #awsbosnia #awsadria

Saying "coding is dead" is missing the point. Coding isn’t just about producing code, it’s also a way of thinking. It teaches us structure, systems thinking, abstractions and problem decomposition. If you don’t learn those skills, AI won’t make you productive, it’ll make you dependent.

You can now use the `ed` text editor inside of Amazon Q CLI 😅 Sure!

Hey Rust Developers 🦀 I realized this since working on a bunch of Rust hobby projects ... They do take up a *LOT* of disk space! I did a bunch of `cargo clean` today, and I think I freed up over 30GB of storage 😅 (that could be a me problem jumping back and forth between projects)

This part of the backdrop is rarely ever seen in my videos! But I for sure love looking at it 😍

So, as it is that time of ... the decade. I've spent my entire Sunday migrating my aging hugo static website/blog/thingy to something else, something modern and something different! 👏 Okay ... now I am a big fan of @astro.build 😍

The fascinating part about collecting old computer books is that sometimes … just sometimes I find the original receipt for it ❤️ I am not sure what Waldenbooks is, but it seems America finds it there 😅

An excellent read by Matthias Endler - Prototyping in Rust 🦀! It's not as hard as it initially seems, and it gives you an excellent runway to a great production ready application! corrode.dev/blog/prototy... Remember kids, it's okay to `.unwrap()` and `todo!()` when you are prototyping 👏

It's very easy to go ahead and ask Amazon Q: "How do I draw a chessboard in Rust". But sometimes, I like to do these kinds of exercises myself. 🦀 When I need to work out stuff like this, a piece of paper and a code editor is all I need! Much to the chagrin of my high school self - Math is fun! 🥳

After decades of research from the world's top computer scientists... we finally discovered how to quit vim.

Now i need a MCP server that can source information from these bad boys! 👏 Remember when updating documentation required printing insert pages? 😅

These kinds of facts I like! The size of former Yugoslavia in comparison to the Pacific Northwest ❤️

I’m ready for some heavy compute! 🔥

Sound On! 🔈 So I have a new keyboard… Well, it’s a newly produced IBM Model F (more precisely a FSSK) 😍 There is one neat thing about it … see if you notice it in the latter half of the video 😅
