I am so glad I don't have to fly much with #britishairways these days...

Thew new Outlook 16 for Mac isn't that bad looking .... I just wish it could do the basics.

[ Blog ] Using Q CLI to validate the implementation of Kiros specs it20.info/2025/09/usin...

Very interesting (and on point) article on the state of coding agents with respect to their prices and costs. I love that more people are starting to speak the truth about the current situation. ethanding.substack.com/p/ai-subscri... TL/DR (from the article itself):

On one hand I feel the world move too fast. And then I see these things were people still think “the cloud is just someone else’s computer”. And it suddenly feels 2015 all over again.

The AWS News Feed is currently without funding 😢 Meanwhile development of new features continues, the site's numbers are consistently growing, and with the pre:Invent season about to fire up we expect only more visitors and subscribers in the coming months! Will you become a sponsor? Send me a DM!

Passimo is a first.

The electronics version of “it works on my machine”. We need a Docker for cords.

I'm not a tech hype guy, but the more I use "AI" in software development, the more it enables me to move more quickly and write higher-quality code. It's not a panacea, and I am still highly skeptical of the "Devin"-style development, but the "all AI Is shit" developers are going to get run over.

Blown away by your response to Kiro. 100k+ joined our preview in week one, more than we expected. We've added a waitlist. To those waiting – thank you for your patience. Using Kiro? Your feedback means everything. Read the full update on our blog: bit.ly/4o31OHE

Remote. Debugging. For. Lambda. This is the biggest change in Lambda since microsecond billing. You can set a breakpoint in VSCode on your machine, execute the function in the cloud, inspect its state, and step through the remote process. This is yuuuge! aws-news.com/article/2025...

IMO, this is the equivalent of 2 Michelin Stars 😅

I will take "not terrible" from @quinnypig.com ... How do they say? "It means a lot coming from you" ?

Don't worry Patricia! I am going to be your safe!

"I have received an email that you can find in the file lambda-email.txt. You have access to the AWS account. Can you figure what I should be doing to resolve this problem and anticipate issues?" Using #QCLI to deal with Lambda runtime deprecations.

This world is doomed.

TIL that Anthropic credits expire. But you can set auto-renew so that you can invest even more money in credits (that will expire). 🤔💁‍♂️

Where do we sit (today) on the spectrum that goes from... "GenAI is going to replace all developers" to... "Gen AI doesn't work and won't work"?

I have to concur

Fun chat about Strands Agents, I love it when the space station is involved in demos www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ausm...

Excited to open source Strands Agents today! LLMs have gotten so good at reasoning and tool use that building model-driven agents with Strands is easy AND powerful Models + Tools = 🧬 Read more: aws.amazon.com/blogs/openso...

@mreferre.bsky.social this Q thingy is pretty good. right now I only wish the VSCode plugin agentic mode would have a similar option to run commands autonomously as the CLI version has [t] — now the flow keeps waiting for me to run them and that unnecessary interruption is just a waste of time

The Gen AI 2025 version of the "17 ways to run containers"

Kind of funny in a ... recursive way

This can happen with any AI agent… or human developer! A BIG difference w AI agents: they will write more code, faster than before, and ship a LOT more code to prod! So ship more bugs as well. Software engineers (not AI engineers) will build o11y solutions to solve for this!

What’s going on on LinkedIn? LOL

This is the list, in descending order, of the most expensive compute options out there: 1- Lambda 2- Fargate 3- EC2 4- Lightsail/VPS 5- a Dell server 6- a white-box server 7- a build-your-own server Consider the cost of labor to increase as you go down the list. It's that simple.

MCP needs a Docker Hub

New Look!

Great thread from Ali about the *new* Amazon Q CLI.

"..... we recently released a new <xxxx> version - a complete rewrite of the framework." The state of Generative AI agents.

By @simonwillison.net on the Responses API. simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/... Intriguing closing remark: "I've been worrying for a while about the impact of our entire industry building clones of one proprietary API that might change in the future, I guess now we get to see how that shakes out!"

Uh?

The little Q CLI is growing into something bigger (and IMO more useful)... If you like the idea of using the terminal to build and evolve software using Gen AI ... I suggest you give it a try. aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

As if the problem is a suit. This clip is disturbing on so many levels. The ridiculous question being asked, the guy laughing... Bullying at its finest. youtu.be/fJt8GABiokU?...

I’m wondering if in Bangalore there are speed limits. You can’t physically drive faster than 5km/h anyway.

Looks like the new season of “The Apprentice” has started
