I should come. I’m sure I can wrangle it to be in London that week 😏

In the UK? When are you over?

Overcome development disarray with Amazon Q Developer CLI custom agents | Amazon Web Services As a developer who has embraced the power of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)to enhance my workflows, I’m thrilled to see the addition of custom agents in the Amazon Q Developer CLI. This new feature ...

This should work

might just be because I code in Go and Rust rather than TS/JS but Junie seems to be much better at Go especially.

Fixing code created by Claude 😜
Seriously though, much better at spec coding i.e. make a plan + execute the tasks. Adheres to my rules docs and coding standards too. Claude Code gets a bit lost sometimes and loses context.

🙌 JetBrains Junie 🙌

The foundation of every product along with authn, authz, listing, filtering and workflows (or should that be agents 😜)

Exactly this, lots of concern for typists in the typing pool. I worked in local gov at the time and folks were told to sneaker net their WordPerfect files to the typing pool for editing and printing.
Those typists ended up spread across the dept in other teams doing a much more varied job.

Congrats! Your perseverance and resilience is amazing.
This is the post I’ve been waiting to see 🙌🥂

There are three US-based Developer Advocate roles open in the org I manage right now!

The first two are focused on telling AWS's developer tools story - for example, Kiro, Serverless, Amplify, etc.

Can’t really leave out Finnie, who is still with us but missing Alfie

Picture if a Jack Russell dog holding a treat in his mouth

This is Alfie, my furry soulmate. He passed one week ago today 😭

Get ollama installed and your model of choice. Use it regularly while on the train to/from London cos train WiFi sucks.
Uncensored models can be fun “allegedly” 😜

Here’s some dog content to temporarily distract you from the mess happening in the world

IMHO Amazon Q CLI is underrated. I use it daily, not just for code gen but as my AWS search engine.
I work for AWS so you may think I’m biased but I also choose to use it for my personal projects.

Oh boy, that brings back memories. Used to work in the AV unit of Notts Fire Brigade in the late 80’s. We had a full edit suite with these things. So many good times.

Color blindness Color blindness is an inaccurate term. Most color-blind people can see color, they just don't see the same colors as everyone else. There ha...

Reposting a link to my article about my color blindness. My color blindness, not yours. Most articles about how to produce figures that work for colorblind people are written by people with normal vision who don't know what it's like.

This is brilliant, thank you for writing this. As a red-green colour blind person I’ll be pointing people to your article to explain my condition.

Don’t need to, I’ll happily spill tea sat at my desk 🤣

Beautiful 🤩

Worth every penny, if you are in business you need this book.

It's Sunday, Take a break!

Amazon Aurora DSQL is now GA!! It's "the fastest serverless distributed SQL database with virtually unlimited scale" according to AWS.

Been trying out the preview of this and it looks super promising.

Looking fab there Michele

Not a huge Max fan but gotta respect his talent. That first corner move was perfect!

Yep same. Switched to Netflix app on tv.
