If you’d like to understand Spec Driven Development, https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html is a great read

Cognitive Debt (https://youtube.com/shorts/HJ2vIHf9UJI?is=U9TxajuR2NkoawbE) - Amount of code that nobody has an understanding of.

An increasingly relevant term as aggressive adoption of AI agents by companies/developers is rapidly increasing Cognitive Debt.

kiro-cli’s docs are a fantastic read https://kiro.dev/docs/cli/ 🔥 It has instructions on steering, giving knowledge, creating custom agents, configuring hooks etc.

AI agents are dropping the cost of authoring software to zero 🙂

kiro-cli seems even better than Kiro 🔥

Vibe-coded a Google Apps Script that periodically syncs an Outlook calendar to a Google calendar github.com/nisanthchunduru/calendar-utils using kiro-cli and Claude Opus 4.5

AWS CLI config file’s credential_process setting is super handy.

It gives the ability to specify a command that AWS CLI or AWS SDK can run to obtain AWS credentials (when AWS credentials are unavailable or have expired).

Its especially useful when your employer provides short-lived AWS credentials that have to be periodically refreshed by a command/script.

VSCode’s TypeScript Inlay Hints is a nifty feature. It infers and displays types (like IntelliJ Idea does) of variables, function args and function return value when the types are not explicitly specified by developers.

Tried Amazon’s Kiro after Amazon launched it internally and publicly and its surprisingly brilliant 💯 Possibly Amazon’s best AI product.

Its significantly better than Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot and other AI IDEs (so much so that it has become my primary IDE for my personal projects too). Kiro’s Spec Mode is especially ingenious and unique (atleast for now 😅).

Cursor’s Visual Editor is 🔥 Super handy for iterating on UI
