Tonight I'm presenting at Software for One in Seattle (5:30-8 PM, Capitol Hill) - I'll be talking about Yesod, my agentic software factory. Come say hi!
Happy birthday Dad, Jeff Barr! All 3 of us have vernier calipers within arm's reach of our workstations. One of thousands of small lessons I've learned over the years.
My M2 Studio was bogging down on multiple Dolt SQL servers so I went old school: bought a used workstation off Facebook Marketplace, installed Proxmox, and got Dolt + Postgres running locally (AI did the heavy lifting). Wrote it all up. https://aicoe.fit/shave-all-the-yaks-969c62
I just received my Neurable MW75's. These headphones scan your brain and give you insights into your productivity. I'll do a live unboxing later in the week.

Weekend post - Saw an ad for a fan which plugs into a light socket. Ad says fan is 'revolutionary'... Aren't all ceiling fans revolutionary? 😁 What are your best puns and Dad jokes?
I asked my kids for help making burgers and offered $1/patty. I wanted 6 patties. I got 20 meatballs and grins. What does this mean for AI?... Agents do what you ask them to do, and if you incentivize them in a certain way, they will respond accordingly.
I was volunteering at a kids school event, and my phone buzzed. LinkedIn message. AWS Made Easy recording confirmed for 10pm. Remote work is the way... 👇 Check my LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7340894802999242753/
A highlight of FinOpsX is the new connections you can make. I got to meet Muthuraman Annamalai... He is working on a really neat series - "Smart Money - Weekly FinOps Platform Insights." Make sure to follow him on LInkedIn. Link in the comments. #FinOps #CloudOptimization #AWS #TechCommunity
Learning to leverage AI effectively is probably the best investment you can make in yourself. I use each of these services many times per day, and for the order-of-magnitude boost in productivity, it is well worth it. What do you think?
Not sure what to say about this one. I suppose it really shows the gulf between smaller quantized models and the large models like 4o and Sonnet
What is the tone of voice that you use with your LLMs? I choose Starfleet Captain.
@darko.rup12.net so I am debugging some python code that looked like: my_map[key] = [] my_map[key].append({"foo" : "bar"}) my_map[key] = {"baz" : "qux"} # should have been append I really need to switch to rust
If you were to rank re:Invent sessions by potential ROI, “What’s new with cost optimization” by Rick Ochs and Letian Feng is as good as it gets! #reinvent
I will get a workout today running to Rick Ochs’ and Latin Feng’s session. Let’s see how fast I can make it from the Venetian to the Wynn. I’m looking forward to see the new cost optimization toys!
My December project is going to be to port my personal AI infrastructure to be Bedrock native, giving me a chance to explore all of the new features!

@quinnypig.com I completely agree with this. And also non-obvious is that your individual account must become an AWS Organization before you can setup IAM Identity Center. Its frustrating! Hopefully the path gets smoothed out over time.
Corey Quinn@quinnypig.com · 2y agoSimon (incredibly smart, also wonderfully kind) is *GOOD* at this, and even he refers to the painful process of setting up an IAM user. It is extremely non-obvious that IAM Identity Center is the correct modern path. AWS Identity folks, you have some messaging and user flow work left to do.
So cool to see my Dad @jeffbarr.bsky.social honored for all the massive body of work he's put together. I've had an inside view of just how much effort has gone into those 1.5M words over the past 2 decades! This is a well-deserved celebration!
Jared Short@jaredshort.com · 2y ago20 years later, 1.5 million words from the man himself @jeffbarr.bsky.social … Happy 20th Birthday to the AWS blog. #reinvent
For all the #awsreinvent folks, what bit of gear from home do you find makes travel easier? Fror me, bringing along a full size keyboard is always worth the effort.
Meeting awesome folks at #AWSreInvent day 2, including a professional photographer! Look for a guy that looks like the photo below and I’ll share some ideas on how to save on your AWS bills
Don't worry about FOMO at #reInvent. You'll miss out on 98% of it, but the 2% you do get will be awesome!
Maish Saidel-Keesing@maishsk.com · 2y agoI have to confess.. I honestly cannot keep up with everything going around me at #reInvent right now. I Love It!!!!!!!!!! Embrace the mayhem!
On a flight to Vegas and having a conversation with the person next to me about EBS volume choices. That’s reinvent week for you.
