finnish verb kiroilla /ˈkiroi̯lːɑˣ/ can mean using kiro, but more literally it means cursing or swearing 😁

"... one of the best places to do it might be Helsinki, Finland." 🥰

AWS CloudShell documentation says: "if you don't interact with it using your keyboard or pointer for 20–30 minutes, your shell session ends" — a perfectly reasonable timeout. When accessing CloudShell via AWS Console iOS app the shell timeouts much faster, like being away from app a minute or so 😫

they're trying to teach formal modeling to us! I don't complain 😁 kiro.dev/blog/propert...

Ever since I started working on AWS stuff 2017, I haven't missed a @wernervogels.bsky.social #reInvent keynote. Not this year either, even though the schedule was horrible — the keynote started at 1.30 am local time

not bad. that is 94 kilometers / active day — is that a lot or little, I guess, it depends 😁 and there are still 22 days left in the year, you never know how far one can go

has @github.com blocked creating new accounts in incognito mode? — verifying browser succeeds but then "Unable to verify your captcha response." is thrown

don't know who designed this feature, but at least it is not really personalized to **me** 🫠 my **easy** endurance ride is normally 2 hours 😅 today I rided 4+ hours and even that wasn't especially "hard": strava.app.link/3oDXkYMWSYb

when you break the @kiro.dev request quota, it still tries to generate "something" 😁 this was not intentional — just too many open IDEs open at the same time

I gave @kiro.dev autonomous agent a little maintenance task some hours ago and left it alone ... now it is almost ready 🙌 I perhaps would have get done it myself faster and with fewer mistakes — look at the commit history of this pull request 😄 github.com/nikovirtala/... #reInvent

Metaprogramming. I think I've always been, for a long time without even realizing it, interested in programming the programming. Perhaps even more than the programming in the traditional sense. Which is why all these AI thingies feel kinda easy and natural — it is not that much different 🤷‍♂️

hello @kiro.dev autonomous agent 👋 #reInvent

It is gonna be a long day today. Werner is having his #reInvent keynote this time in the afternoon 3.30 pm PST which translates to 1.30 am EET 😴 It's been my habit to watch it ever since I've been working with AWS stuff and I simply can’t let the poor schedule break the streak 😁

slowly... @kiro.dev

no kiro.dev autonomous agents for me — boo!

I learned very early this morning that Amazon #DynamoDB Streams capacity is not really unlimited and that after consuming it at 450 RPS you will be called a noisy neighbour 😅 Challenge unlocked?

nope. I just bought UAD Showtime '64 from their black friday sale, just to get disappointed a big time. the real deal, my handwired Princeton Reverb is still a light year ahead of this model

It really is an incredible time to be a guitarist who *doesn’t* want to own a bunch of $2,000 amps and an expensive pedalboard of gear.

@kiro.dev got powers! this sounds actually very nice and practical way to share your knowledge to both the AI agents as well as to your colleagues using those agents — time to reveal some secrets I guess? 😁 kiro.dev/blog/introdu... #reInvent

My gut feeling just told me we'll be using the new #Lambda durable functions a lot in near future — very nice release! 👏 But not perfect, where is my day one #awscdk support? 😁 docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/lates... #reInvent

where is all the #reInvent buzz, if not here?

do I or do you know the maintainer of the granted.dev tool?

if I don't tell, or use it without customizations, nobody can say if it was me or LLM — it is pretty easy to put LLM to produce things with your style

At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars... Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

dunno who should hear this but the @awscloud.bsky.social cloudwatch application signals provides pretty good level of observability to your systems straight out of the box and only using the auto instrumentation — surprisingly easy way to get started with opentelemetry! 👏

Lambda Kafka Event Source has been somewhat behind in error handling capabilities compared to AWS native event sources, but not anymore: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh... — we got configurable retries, bisect batch on function error, partial batch responses and Kafka as failure destination 🙌

new bike day!

if you give an engineer a problem to solve but not enough time to understand the details, the solution will be over complicated. That’s just how it works, it can’t work any other way. Simplicity is hard and takes time, an unknown amount of time

looks like I'm a full-time @kiro.dev user now — fun, but on the other hand nothing really changed 🤷‍♂️
