Last Friday I released the second (and last) part of the video of how I created and deployed my personal website. This one was about deploying to AWS using Agent Toolkit for AWS. Full video below takes you through it and website link in the replies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbas...

Most people talk to AI like they're texting a friend. Then wonder why results are not matching what they have in mind. How you talk to AI matters. Using markdown, caps, headers, negative prompts. The AI reads structure like a human reads tone. New video explaining how 👇

Yesterday I shared a video on how I built my personal website to be agent-friendly. Now the written version is up, in case you like it more. It covers specmd, llms.txt, and tips to make your site actually discoverable by agents. Check it out: dev.to/aws/building...

My domain sat unused for months because "rebuilding a website" felt like a weekend project. Yesterday I wrote specs for what I wanted, handed them to GPT 5.6 Sol with Astro, and had a working site in 60 minutes. Code and walkthrough in thread 🧵

I don't write many articles but these new Build in AI APIs in Chrome are pretty cool so I thought I would get out of my comfort zone and write an article about it 😆 👉 AI Without a Backend: The Browser's Built-in AI APIs for Web Developers #DEVCommunity #chrome #genai #webdev dev.to/olivierleplu...

AI Without a Backend: The Browser's Built-in AI APIs for Web Developers

Run an LLM in the browser with no backend. A hands-on guide to the built-in Summarizer and Prompt APIs — image input and schema-constrained JSON.

Built an app that roasts your World Cup team after they get eliminated during my talk @wearedevelopers.bsky.social AI writes eulogies, generates roasts, and mediates so you don't go too far. Tried to demo it live at WeAreDevelopers. But no chance at first shot. github.com/salihgueler/...

WeAreDevelopers 2026 is done. 2 workshops, 2 talks, booth demos, "Football for Good" hackathon. It was a lot but the people and conversations made it all worth it. Now my focus is on video and written content and sample apps for a while. :)

Built a custom Building Block that adds Google Maps to AWS Blocks (it doesn't have one natively). Then turned it into a geography guessing game. Runs locally without an AWS account, deploys with one command. Full walkthrough 👇 dev.to/aws/building...

I've been showing people how to build full-stack apps with AWS, and I always wished there was a way to let them follow along without needing an account set up on the spot. Developer preview for AWS Blocks is here to help with that! Links in the thread 👇

Modern TDD can be hard to implement when we spend too much time wrestling with infrastructure mocks and unclear requirements. I wrote a blog post on using AI to generate spes that drive your tests and implementation. I take you through 🧵

I’ve been experimenting with local LLMs on iOS and Android to automate tasks. By luck, I saw the discussion on HN about the same topic as well about the Google AI Edge Gallery app. I wanted to ask, if you all are running your models locally and if so what are your device specs?

I wrote about Component Hydration for Server Side Rendering with #Jaspr. In case you are new to the concept, check it out, let me know what you think about it and of course show some love to the blog if you enjoyed it :) dev.to/salihgueler/...
