My new article: Employees, AI, and AI employees.

I think one of the most important skills for software developers today is code review. The amount of code you write will decrease significantly, and the amount of _your_ (generated) code you need to read and review will skyrocket.

I created a list of AWS related Bluesky users while I was looking for people to follow myself. Hopefully it can help someone else start building their network there as well. If you want to be added or have other people to add, feel free to create a PR.
