Github has private repos of course. But for some reason the background voice is still there. On codecommit, there just isnt an option to be public. The bridge is burned already, which is nice

starting all my new projects to #AWS codecommit has been great. Knowing that it will never be public gives me some sort of license to only care about things that actually matter. On Github I had this background voice saying "don't do it that way, people will have feelings about that"

I may as well. Sounds like a good holiday project

Decided to build my own ui for codecommit. I am now wondering why I didnt do this earlier.

Sooo, why would anyone use #AWS StepFunctions now that Lambda as durable executions?

Yay! #AWS DevOps Agent got announced πŸŽ‰ I have been working on this multi-agent system for the past few months. In particular, I focused on the incident response capability & surfacing useful information to help repair apps built on AWS.
I would love if you give it a spin and hear your feedback!

Worktree

I have been weighing whether I should move to worktree.ca or just embrace AWS completely and go back to the newly revived CodeCommit: aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

The Future of AWS CodeCommit | Amazon Web Services Back in July 2024, we announced plans to de-emphasize AWS CodeCommit based on adoption patterns and our assessment of customer needs. We never stopped looking at the data or listening to you, and what...

very happy AWS Code Commit has been revived #aws #cloud aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

β€œSoftware engineering as entertainment” is the best single concept I have heard to explain the weird state web dev is in these days

Tools like Claude Code and QCLI are the best agentic solution I have seen so far, but they are still not good enough, so making my own thing #llm #agentic #ai

I find if u work with it to write design docs, arch docs, task plans, then write code, Claude sonnet 3.7 writes pretty maintainable code

So now I am asking questions like "what does good writing look like?" and trying to relearn grammar and writing style again. All so I can prompt an LLM to write blogs properly.

Ive generated a few blogs now with LLMs. Its really good at technical blogs, where I only care about instruction. But when I ask it to turn a personal note into a blog, its terrible in interesting ways. Its very cliche, very mediocre, and it somehow removes anything interesting and makes it flat

The other use case is to make a blog about a topic already know a lot about, but I just want it articulated well and concisely. I just need the resource so I can reference it in the future.

And im not going to care about "getting caught" or someone "realizing its LLM generated". I dont really care about being a blogger, I dont find my identity in blogging. I just want these blogs to exist so I can read them.

28.03.2025 19:31 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I would start by writing out some thoughts in broken sentences, and ask it research the topic, answer my questions, reflect my take on the topic, and it generates a blog that I personally want to read and find useful. Its crazy. So I might just do that, generate blogs.

So... I have been trying out agentic coding (sonnet 3.7 + local tools), and its pretty mind blowing. Last night I remade my website, make a script that takes md files and generates blog pages, includes bsky comments, has dark light mode. Then I had it generate some blog entries.
