It’s 👻day ! Spec-driven development brought to your IDE Try Kiro today kiro.dev

Update: I've created a GitHub Issue proposing to address this problem. Please help getting this fixed by adding your +1! Here's the link: github.com/modelcontext...

Use the Strands SDK to build AI agents, easily integrating with existing MCP tools, selecting models from Bedrock, OpenAI, or Olama. It’s so easy, I felt so productive after just one hour :-) Follow this four-part series of tutorials by @dtraub.bsky.social community.aws/content/2xP1...

Stop treating MCP servers like browser extensions. Start treating them like you're downloading random executables from the internet. Because when you add an MCP server to Claude Desktop or Cursor IDE, that's exactly what you're doing!

🧬 The Strands Agents Hands-On Tutorial - Part 3: MCP Integration In this quick lesson, you'll learn how to connect your Strands AI agent to external services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Check it out: bit.ly/43GFHyB

The next installment of my Strands Agents tutorial series is live: Tool Integration Learn how to connect your agent to the real world using built-in and custom tools with the Strands Agents SDK. Check it out: bit.ly/43neXBY

🧬 Just kicked off my tutorial series on building AI agents with the Strands Agents SDK! After a quick intro to this new framework, we'll dive directly into some code and create a functional agent with just a few lines of code. Check it out! community.aws/content/2xOw...

Hey developer friends! Wanna add generative AI to your applications using a real stack - like Java, JavaScript, C#, or PHP? This one's for you! Start the day right and join my session "No Python? No Problem! Generative AI for the rest of us" 👉 Register now aws.amazon.com/events/summi...

If there only was a vaccine against... Oh, wait!

"Harness" is the new "delve", right? Which other terms do you regularly see in AI-generated copy?

Developers: what is your view of AWS?

Inspired by the latest AI Demo Days in London, I built this: Run any AWS Lambda function as a Large Language Model (LLM) tool without code changes using Anthropic's Model Control Protocol (MCP) https://github.com/danilop/MCP2Lambda #AI #GenAI #MCP #AWS #Serverless

Hey JavaScript developers! Here's a quick tutorial showing how to embed Claude's new reasoning mode in your apps community.aws/content/2tX5...

New Python tutorial: Access Claude's new reasoning mode with just a few lines of code community.aws/content/2tWv...

Hey developer friends, here are some code examples showing how to use @anthropic.com Claude's new reasoning feature on Amazon Bedrock C#/.NET: community.aws/content/2tXG... Java: community.aws/content/2o7u... Python: community.aws/content/2tWv... JavaScript: community.aws/content/2tX5...

And here's the Python version: community.aws/content/2tWv...

Here's how you can add Claude 3.7 Sonnets's reasoning capabilities to your Java app 👇 community.aws/content/2o7u...

Serverless Office Hours is BACK! with "What’s new in Serverless for 2025" After an AWS livestreaming hiatus, we're happy to be back with a few changes. Even MOAR channels, although different ones from before. It's an hour later, Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11 AM PT. 7PM UK, 8PM CET

Each AI model needs its own prompting approach - like how different makeup brushes are designed for specific tasks. You wouldn't use an eyeliner brush for blush! I've turned my Nova experiments into a field guide with templates, patterns & examples you can use today!

🚨 The top 5 jobs most at risk of AI replacement: #1: Cookie box description copywriters #2: People who write terms and conditions #3: Professional 'let me Google that for you' experts #4: Stock photo models of people pointing at screens #5: People who write those 'Top 5 ...' posts on the socials

Here's an inspiring - and ass-kicking - read to start your day: ghuntley.com/dothings/

I even got it to rickroll me! Well, almost. The link is hallucinated 😅

I just updated my DeepSeek-R1 on Bedrock example to separate the model's reasoning from the final response. The screenshot is a response to: "Explain 'rubber duck debugging' on a single paragraph" Here's the notebook so you can try it yourself: github.com/DennisTraub/...

It feels more and more like most of these "AI newsletters" just copy/paste the same stuff without adding any signal to the noise...

New Python tool: GitHub Folder Downloader For a project I'm working on I need to download specific folders from GitHub repositories, but without cloning them (which can take ages with large repos!) Since I couldn't find anything that did what I needed, I built it myself: github.com/DennisTraub/...

Hey, I know these people 😃

If you're using ANY kind of digital product, here's an AI prompt that you should try today 👇 "As a legal expert, analyze and explain to me the terms and conditions of [product], with an emphasis on potential risks, pitfalls, and legal ambiguities."

When they sell you "lifetime" access, they mean _your_ lifetime, right? Haha, f*** no! Actually, they mean the lifetime of the plan, which they can retire whenever they want... 🤷‍♂️

Here's a great little cost-saving tip for API Gateway

As the new OSS Developer Advocate for AWS CDK, I was hired to help evolve the way AWS engages with the CDK community. Today, we're proposing to form a CDK Contributor Council as a first step in that evolution. github.com/aws/aws-cdk-...

Those were the days 🤩

I finally found some time to play around with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). ⛏️ Here's a first prototype connecting your AI to #Minecraft. Let me know what you think! github.com/DennisTraub/...

If you are using #AWS or just interested in solid technical advice, you should listen to the Heroes: bsky.app/profile/did:... #listentotheheroes
