Did Claude Code auto /compact get fast and actually good when I wasn't looking? I've now had multiple sessions where Claude Code worked smoothly across multiple auto-compact operations, and I barely noticed they happened. If I can trust this, it changes everything.

If you yawn when you hear AWS Transform and skip that news because you aren't running mainframes, VMware, or .NET, take another look at this fresh AWS re:Invent announcement: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in... #AWS #reInvent

The AWS #reInvent announcements have started. Here's one that is free: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

"Judging will begin shortly" Road to re:Invent AWS #reInvent

@brookejamieson.bsky.social and team actually pulled this together! I remember when it was just a dream. The Road to re:Invent hackathon buses are real and have started their journey to AWS #reInvent. reinvent.awslivestream.com/r2r/live/

How it started AWS #reInvent chalk wall

I've been attending AWS re:Invent since the first one in 2012. E Every year I notice changes as the organizers observe things they can improve from the previous year. There should be no security bottleneck at Venetian check-in and badge pickup this year. AWS #reInvent

I told the fellow guarding the chalk board that it is now open. AWS #reInvent 2025

Here is some Friday pre:Invent fun... I am doing a session on Wednesday that is NOT in the catalog, but it will be. You will NOT want to miss this. Look for me - 10:30 AM (Vegas Time) In the Mandalay Bay.

Sometimes it's hard to wait for Claude Code to do in 30 minutes what would only take me 3 days.

The abc CLI project has been enhanced with a new OpenAI plugin for use with, say, GPT-5. Website: getabc.sh GitHub: github.com/alestic/abc abc now supports: - Anthropic (Claude models) - OpenAI (GPT models) - AWS Bedrock (Claude, Nova, etc)

This is Kiro - the AI IDE that works on your messy, real-world projects. Other AI tools lose context when projects get complex. Kiro gives you spec-driven development that scales beyond prototypes. Preview: kiro.dev/blog/introducing-kiro/?trk=6b579e54-2920-4e24-a25b-d3c887a6ffdf&sc_channel=sm

I did not have a new SQS Queue type on my bingo card, but here we are and they're very cool. SQS Fair Queues automatically balance multiple tenants (identified by their MessageGroupID), filtering out noisy neighbors. Love it when foundational services keep improving! aws-news.com/article/2025...

I'm tired of being "absolutely right". Tell me when I'm wrong. Tell me when I forgot to take something into account. Tell me when I could consider another option. #ai #development

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!

I hope you never need this, but it is now possible to move resources between AWS CloudFormation stacks, and to rename logical IDs: aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops... #aws #cloudformation

I'm looking for speakers for two AWS User Groups - virtual for Cleveland and in-person for DMV (DC/NOVA area). Please DM me or comment if you are interested. These should be educational in nature and not a sales pitch. #AWS

I can't always remember those sysadmin commands I only use a few times a decade. abc to the rescue (the LLM's proposed commands will be based on the current operating system). getabc.sh

The AWS Community Builders application process is now open: pulse.aws/application/... I‘m a 5th year Community Builder myself, and the program has a lot of benefits, like direct exchange with other fellow builders via Slack, info about upcoming releases, and not to forget, generous AWS credits.

Tired of asking a web LLM to generate aws-cli commands for you and copy+pasting the result into your shell? I've written a shell command that does this for me, and I can't live without it now. getabc.sh Ready for feedback and issues from early adopters. #cli #bash #zsh #tcsh #linux #mac #aws

I'm not saying I'm an AWS expert… but I am saying I finally tracked down the random AWS account charging me small amounts every month and closed it.

New AWS root account management explained. Most security incidents involve credentials. 99% stopped by MFA. Passkeys on AWS (I’ll stick with Yubikey.) AWS re:Invent 2024 - Secure by design: Enhancing the posture of root with central control (SEC232) m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQuP...

AWS re:Invent re:Caps are community-driven meetups to learn about the latest announcements from AWS re:Invent. 🚀 📢 Find an event near you, or download the re:Invent re:Cap deck through your Builder ID: community.aws/recaps?trk=0...

My fave talks from re:Invent: Eric talks about network defence: www.youtube.com/watch?v=65mX... Marc talks about metastability etc.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvHd... colmmacc talks about networking: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzpz...

All I want for Christmas is RDS Savings Plans #awswishlist

Hopefully #awswishlist works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.

Looking for content from AWS #reInvent? Suggest starting with this collection on YouTube, featuring all the DEV track sessions (AWS Hero led & Developer Advocate led talks) 🔥💥 #AWSCommunity www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Another good #reinvent watch, this one from @lizthegrey.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSdS...

What AWS employee did I talk to Sunday evening during #reInvent at Illy, about Cline and Bedrock SDKs? I think they are on the Bedrock team, and are comfortable with code. Feel free to reach out in private if you have ideas.

My re:Invent 2024 talk Dev-319 is on YouTube now! It covers my experience building a live scoring system for a global sporting event. I enjoyed crafting this story; it provides solid strategies and principles for everyone watching it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lxz... #ListenToTheHeroes

Just want to thank all the folks nobody notices behind the scenes at #awsreinvent. It’s precisely because you’re so good at your jobs that nobody notices you. Thanks. It was a great conference. You made it possible, and I see and appreciate your work. 🥰

I’m grateful for feedback from AWS customers about new access management features. Foundational models are cool, but if you’re in security, a good takeaway from re:Invent is to delete the root credentials from your member accounts in AWS Organizations aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ce... #awsreinvent

No, I wasn't "overtraining". That was just a week of AWS #reInvent.

Reinvent day #… I forgot. 😴 Looking forward in heading home! This was a great re:invent with the #AWSHeroes!

Here’s a great recap of serverless launches from @ranthebuilder.cloud: www.ranthebuilder.cloud/post/aws-re-... And we’ve got even more exciting things in the works for serverless in 2025! See you next year 🚀

Looking for a good summary/thread of the new AWS Re:Invent Generative AI related announcements.

That was quick! I see openrouter.ai has already added the new Amazon Nova Micro, Lite and Pro models. Will be interesting to see where they land in the rankings over the coming days. #aws #ai #reInvent

Recordings are up - you couldn’t make it to my re:Invent session ? Here’s the recording youtu.be/DYf7kpR24dk?...

If, on Wed November 27, you passed through LAX Tom Bradley International Airport Terminal B on your way to AWS #reInvent, you may have been exposed to measles: publichealth.lacounty.gov/phcommon/pub...

Missed my session at #reinvent? We set up a repeat on Friday at 8:30 AM. I know! The morning after re:Play, right? 😅 But if you'd like to learn how you can add AI to your own apps using Java, C#, JavaScript, or PHP, join me and we'll dive into some code 👨‍💻

Thank you @werner.social for the great shout out to the AWS Heroes ❤️ This is the smartest, friendliest, and simply *best* group of people I've ever been part of, and I am forever grateful for AWS' sponsorship 🙏

I love the cowboy phase of re:Invent.

If you're at re:Invent and want to chat about Aurora DSQL, I'll be at the AWS databases booth in the Expo for a couple hours starting around noon.

The AWS Heroes program is something very special. The REAL heroes are the AWS employees who we've worked with for years. Thank you @werner.social, @rossbarich.bsky.social, @farrah.bsky.social, & everyone else who I can't find in here yet 😂🥰

I didn't care until you took my Grand Lux Cafe. The convenient source of late night and early morning food that I have depended on for over a decade of AWS #reInvent.

First impressions of the new Amazon Nova LLMs (via a new llm-bedrock plugin) simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/4/a... The vibes are good with these ones - they're price and performance competitive with the Google Gemini family, which means they are _really_ inexpensive

I listened to @clare.dev from years back.
