AI coding agent getting lost in 1200 lines class with pretty good doc strings.

40 min wasted, could've coded it 80% already🥹

ChatGPT tries to design DynamoDB 😱

It said Ddb will be slow, inefficient, adds jitter, saturation, and cost 😂

interested in this piece. What kind of trans? Could you elaborate how it felt?

AWS Amplify Gen2 has a fix for the unreadable CloudWatch log names

Now you get:
/aws/lambda/astR
instead of
/aws/lambda/amplify-fw34ufwj3m-master-b-astRlambdaD70DF3-YDtuB774

Quick demo in the video

PS: No env info or prefixes in that name, but it's easy to add

The tests runtime in #CDK was pretty bad
I looked how to fix it and #Typescript and #Jest had options to do it better. But its complicated.

Vibe Coder Looking AT Time Distribution of Expected Time to Generate 100 LOC

How long does it take for AI coding agents to do things? I mean produce valuable thing like piece of code that works. Rather than output, which is cheap.

I wrote a script (with an AI agent, of course) for the Monte Carlo simulation. With realistic params, it shows there is a... problem

Spoke to a customer who's not a developer
LLM "generated" Glue Job, customer wasted half a day trying to run it
The code is horrible but it's not the main problem
LLMs go freewheeling: it sees ETL and ignores Glue Jobs as a managed service because "Python scripts FTW" is easy

IBM built a mini-planetarium immersion room to showcase AI

Was it peak of AI?

The model evaluation for coding should be how resistant it to generating junk
Coding is easy
Comprehending purpose is not so

PS that was elaborate prompt to make self-writing bash script

The Dictionary of Received Ideas by Gustave Flaubert, published 130 years ago has satire on the commonplaces and wisdom of that time

We need some of that for cloud and architecture

Cotton growth every year brand new. Why would you want to "recycle" cotton?

Can we have executive order to ban recycling cotton?

I was looking at lossless streaming services. Apple doesn't like non-apple devices and sends lossy streams to them. Spotify uses lossy compression formats. But Amazon music promises lossless quality on upgraded plans.

Tried Amazon app, its unusable with sloppy design and slow UI

Got new entertainment toy, Wiim Amp (top on the image) It’s a hit!

It replaces two other devices beneath it! Yamaha WXC-50 streaming player/pre-amp and old Denon amp

Wiim Home mobile app is slick, has functional equalizer and room correction via iPhone mic
