What are the advantages of spec-driven development compared to vibe coding with an LLM? Are these recent trends a move toward declarative programming? This week on the show, Marc Brooker, VP and Distinguished Engineer at AWS, joins us to discuss specification-driven development and Kiro.

Send us a textA bus-powered hackathon, a $100K prize for a gloriously “useless” app, and keynotes that said AI so many times you could turn it into a supercut—re:Invent 2025 brought energy, irony, and real signals hiding in the noise. We're joined by AWS Hero Chris Williams to unpack what actually matters: where AI is genuinely useful, where it's lipstick on a feature, and how builders should adapt without losing the plot.We dig into the Road to re:Invent hackathon and why the winning project—turning a tiny script into a sprawling multi-repo monster—was the sharpest commentary on over-engineering all week. From there, we break down the AI-first keynotes, new Graviton efficiency gains that could tame power budgets, and the push to own the entire stack from silicon to agents. Kiro's spec-driven development gets real talk too: amazing for scaffolding, documentation, and repo exploration; risky when you ask a confident hallucination to write production without tests, reviews, or security controls.The conversation shifts to careers and craft with Werner Vogels' parting challenge: become a “Renaissance developer.” Learn systems, networking, security, and economics, then layer AI to explore design space faster. If you're just starting out, don't begin with prompts—build fundamentals and use AI to shape your learning plan. We wrap with the sleeper headline: first-party multi-cloud connectivity. It's overdue, it's serious, and it could reshape how enterprises stitch providers together while raising new questions about SLAs, accountability, and incident response between hyperscalers.Hit play for a clear-eyed debrief that filters the hype, celebrates real progress, and offers practical guidance for teams shipping in 2025. If this helped you make sense of re:Invent, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and drop your bold prediction for the year ahead.Where to find Chris:https://x.com/mistwirehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfwilliams/https://vbrownbag.com/Purchase Chris and Tim's book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Monthly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

“Billions of Agents - każdy z nas będzie miał minimum 10 agentów.” Łukasz cytuje oficjalny przekaz AWS re:Invent 2025, ale prawdziwy przekaz konferencji jest głębszy: hyperscalerzy mają realną przewagę w dostępie do GPU i infrastruktury do trenowania modeli. AWS Clean Rooms, Nova Forge, AI Factory - to ekosystem do łatwego fine-tuningu bez konieczności budowania własnej farmy GPU. A adopcja własnych modeli AWS? Wszyscy używają Anthropic Claude na Bedrocku, nikt Amazon Nova. Szymon wybiera Nova Act jako najlepsze ogłoszenie: “Najciekawsze podejście z całej konferencji” - RPA z agentami AI do automatyzacji starych systemów przez przeglądarkę. AWS Transform? “Eksplozje, wybuchy, beżowe pecety z lat 90. I disclaimer: AWS realnie nie wykorzystuje materiałów wybuchowych.” Modernizacja COBOL-a, mainframe'ów, webforms do Blazora (“Ktoś poza Microsoftem używa słowa Blazor”), aktualizacja SDK, Terraform, CloudFormation. Lambda na EC2 to gwoździem do trumny: “Pamiętasz migrację Prime'a z Lambdy na EC2, bo koszty były za duże? Już by nie musieli.” 97 newsów, w tym Bedrock z 18 modelami open source, wektory w S3, EKS z Argo CD, Kiro jako kolejny fork VS Code. 97 newsów z AWS re:Invent - ale czy któryś naprawdę zmieni coś w Twojej pracy?

Laurent Jalbert-Simard, Architecte de Solutions Senior chez AWS, présente Autoclaw, une machine à pince contrôlée non pas par une manette, mais par une intelligence artificielle agentique. L'utilisateur formule simplement une demande en langage naturel, et l'agent coordonne vision, déplacements et actions pour attraper le chocolat demandé. Le projet a été entièrement développé avec Kiro, qui a généré le code et permis d'itérer rapidement, révélant un nouveau mode de création logicielle où les développeurs deviennent des superviseurs. L'expérience a surpris les visiteurs du Builder's Fair et illustre un changement de paradigme : l'IA commence à agir dans le monde physique, en exécutant des tâches réelles plutôt que seulement produire du texte.

The episode elucidates the current atmospheric conditions affecting various regions of the United States, particularly highlighting the ongoing Pacific atmospheric river that is inundating Washington and Oregon. The National Weather Service has issued multiple flood warnings, including a flood watch for the Seattle Metro area, which is expected to persist through Friday. Concurrently, a winter storm is advancing through the Northern Plains, bringing significant snowfall and hazardous conditions that may lead to treacherous travel. Additionally, damaging winds are impacting South Central regions, compounding the challenges faced by restoration efforts in areas previously affected by severe weather. As we navigate these multifaceted weather phenomena, I urge all listeners to exercise caution and remain informed about local conditions.Takeaways:* The Pacific atmospheric river is significantly impacting Washington and Oregon, leading to multiple flood warnings. * Residents are urged to avoid flooded roads and remain vigilant for potential landslides in steep areas. * A fast-moving winter storm is expected to bring severe weather conditions across parts of the Midwest. * High winds are causing additional challenges in South Central Alaska, with ongoing power restoration efforts indicated. * Winter storm warnings are in effect for several states, including Minnesota and Michigan, with substantial snowfall predicted. * Ongoing flooding concerns persist in western Washington as river flood warnings remain active through Friday.

Sébastien Stormacq, responsable des relations développeurs chez AWS, explique comment le Vibe Coding bouleverse la manière de programmer : générer une application complète en discutant simplement avec un agent IA, même depuis son canapé.Interview : Sébastien Stormacq, responsable des relations avec les développeurs chez AWSQu'est-ce que le Vibe Coding et qu'est-ce que ça change pour les développeurs ?Le Vibe Coding consiste à programmer avec l'IA. Grâce à un chatbot intégré dans l'environnement de développement, on peut lui demander résoudre un problème, d'analyser des erreurs ou de générer du code. Cela permet d'aller beaucoup plus vite. Par exemple, j'ai personnellement créé un jeu pour iOS en quelques minutes, du fond de mon canapé. Certes l'application n'était pas parfaite, mais l'agent me proposait spontanément des corrections, et en une heure, tout fonctionnait. Sans écrire une ligne de code ! Aujourd'hui, je l'utilise au quotidien pour tout ce qui est répétitif, rébarbatif, et ça me fait gagner un temps énorme. On peut d'ailleurs télécharger l'environnement Kiro directement sur le site kiro.dev.Le Vibe Coding peut-il être utilisé à l'échelle d'une entreprise ?Le Vibe Coding est très efficace pour un développeur seul, mais il n'est pas facilement répétable en équipe. On peut vite perdre la trace de ce qui a été généré, comment et pourquoi.C'est pour cela que nous avons introduit une approche plus structurée chez AWS : le Spec Driven Development. L'agent rédige d'abord des spécifications en langage naturel, puis propose un design technique, avant de générer les tâches et le squelette du projet. Toutes ces étapes sont documentées et versionnées dans le repository, par exemple sur GitHub. Cela permet de garder un historique clair, partageable, et d'évoluer proprement, même un an plus tard. C'est cette méthode qui rend possible le passage à l'échelle.Les agents autonomes : la prochaine étape ?On voit apparaître des agents capables de tourner longtemps, sur serveur, et d'exécuter des tâches de fond : analyser des logs, réagir à des erreurs, croiser des sources de données, alerter… C'est comme avoir une personne supplémentaire dans l'équipe, disponible 24h/24.Un agent, au fond, c'est juste du code. Il s'appuie sur un modèle pour décider quels outils utiliser et dans quel ordre. Moi, j'aime comparer ça à un passe-plat : le modèle décide, l'agent exécute, puis lui renvoie les résultats jusqu'à atteindre l'objectif fixé. Aucun mystère, juste des API et une boucle logique très simple.Podcast de Sébastien Stormacq : AWS en français.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

À Las Vegas pour ReInvent, Julien Grouès revient sur la stratégie IA d'AWS, l'arrivée de Nova 2, l'essor des agents intelligents et les enjeux de souveraineté numérique en Europe.Interview : Julien Grouès, CEO AWS France et Europe du SudL'IA est désormais centrale dans la stratégie d'AWS. Quelle est votre approche ?Depuis le début, notre objectif est d'offrir aux entreprises le plus large choix possible de modèles. Je suis convaincu qu'il faut combiner plusieurs approches : de grands modèles quand la puissance est nécessaire, et des modèles plus petits et spécialisés pour des cas plus ciblés. Cela va plus vite, coûte moins cher et permet d'innover plus rapidement. Avec Nova, puis Nova 2, nous avons travaillé sur le meilleur rapport performance-coût, ajouté la multimodalité et surtout introduit NovaForge, qui permet aux entreprises de créer leurs propres modèles basés sur Nova, entraînés avec leurs données, tout en gardant le contrôle total.ReInvent, c'est devenu un rendez-vous incontournable. Qu'est-ce que cet événement représente ?ReInvent est l'occasion de réunir clients, partenaires et toute notre communauté. On fait le bilan de l'année, on écoute les témoignages des entreprises qui utilisent nos services pour se transformer, et on dévoile notre vision pour l'année suivante. Au-delà des annonces, c'est surtout une énergie incroyable : on voit vraiment comment le cloud et l'IA redessinent les modèles d'affaires. C'est pour ça que des dizaines de milliers de personnes viennent à Las Vegas chaque année.L'IA agentique explose. Quels usages observez-vous ?On voit l'IA agentique arriver à maturité très vite. Les agents sont capables d'analyser, d'agir et de conserver la mémoire de leurs actions. Trois grands usages se démarquent : la transformation des centres de relation client, où les agents gèrent déjà une grande partie des demandes ; le développement logiciel, avec des agents capables de moderniser du code, d'assurer la sécurité ou même de créer des applications à partir de spécifications ; et la gestion continue des opérations. Des outils comme Kiro ou encore la plateforme Adjuncore, déjà utilisée par plus d'un million d'utilisateurs, montrent à quel point ces technologies deviennent de véritables ingénieurs virtuels capables de travailler sur plusieurs jours ou semaines.Comment répondez-vous aux inquiétudes sur la souveraineté numérique ?Pour moi, une entreprise est souveraine si elle est performante et peut choisir où sont stockées ses données et qui y accède. Chez AWS, nous n'avons pas accès aux données de nos clients : tout est chiffré, et même nos administrateurs ne peuvent pas y accéder grâce à notre technologie Nitro. Et pour aller plus loin, nous lançons le European Sovereign Cloud, une région opérée depuis l'Europe, par des employés européens, selon le droit européen. Cela permet à ceux qui en ont besoin d'utiliser nos technologies tout en restant dans un cadre souverain strict.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

What is "spec-driven development," and why is this structured approach the key to unlocking complex AI projects? We're joined by Amit Patel, Director of Software Development for Kiro at AWS, to explore this methodology. He explains why "vibe coding" in a chat window fails on multi-day initiatives: the AI (and the developer) loses context. Kiro solves this by turning requirements and design into a persistent, structured spec that acts as the agent's long-term memory, enabling it to maintain context and build sophisticated applications.Amit shares the inside story of how his team at AWS built Kiro from scratch in under a year. He reveals their virtuous feedback loop with internal developers testing nightly builds and providing real-time feedback. This rapid iteration, which included six full revs of the spec experience, was so successful that the Kiro team famously "used the tool to build the tool," turning a multi-week feature into a two-day task. LinearB: Your AI productivity journey starts hereFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest(s):Learn more and try Kiro: kiro.devJoin the Kiro Community: Kiro Discord Channel OFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.

In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I sit down with AWS's Clare Liguori and Erik Hanchett to talk about Kiro, a brand-new AI-powered IDE that's reimagining the way developers build software. We dive into how Kiro takes “AI-assisted coding” to a new level through spec-driven development — a process that focuses on defining requirements and collaborating with AI to break projects into clear, manageable tasks.We unpack what sets Kiro apart from tools like Cursor and Copilot, explore its supervised vs. autopilot coding modes, and even talk about how it handles UI design, planning, and complex legacy codebases. Clare and Erik share behind-the-scenes insights on how Kiro was built using Kiro itself, what's coming next for the platform, and how developers can join the early-access community to help shape its future.

Join an epic panel of AWS Heroes as they dive into their experiences with Kiro, the AI-powered IDE shaking up development workflows. From spec-driven coding to pricing discussions and game demos, this conversation mixes deep tech insights with fun moments. Whether curious about AI's impact on coding or just looking for some cloud community vibes, this session offers laughs, honest feedback, and expert viewpoints.

This week we take the patented Seattle Nice deep dive into Bruce Harrell's proposed nearly $9 billion budget, examining the Seattle mayor's priorities as he's fighting for his political life in what's turned into a tough election year for him.  David points out how various local media outlets, from KIRO to our own Erica C. Barnett's Publicola framed the budget news through their own lenses. The discussion also highlights the budget's strategic rollout, with Sandeep noting the mayor's reliance on a "slick, produced, 15-minute video" in lieu of a traditional speech.We then get into criticism of the budget, which assumes both sales and B&O tax increases and prioritizes spending on new police hires and, in the face of Trump threats, immigrant and refugee assistance and other supports. Erica criticizes the mayor for boosting spending for what will be ongoing programs with one time dollars, saying he is avoiding tough choices and leaving substantial  projected out-year deficits. She argues he should have worked harder to cut the police budget in particular. Sandeep echoes Erica's concerns about a lack of fiscal discipline but says his concern extends to potential wasteful spending in all city departments and not just the cops. He also argues the mayor missed a political opportunity by not proposing more bold, innovative ideas. We also get into the King County Council's recent ban on rent-setting software like RealPage to try and prevent algorithmic price fixing, which follows on the heels of a similar City ban. Finally, the podcast concludes with some back and forth about political endorsements, and specifically the “odd timing” of Pete Buttigieg's backing of Mayor Harrell.  Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

"You cannot do it in the US. You cannot do it in Europe. It's too saturated, but you can still do it in Africa."Olivier Madiba is the founder of Kiro'o Games, the first video game studio in Cameroon and the first Africa-based studio to release a game on Xbox. He tells Claude why Africans have different ideas of success and what that means for video games; how low revenue doesn't necessarily translate to low profits; and what Africa can teach the modern world about the pricelessness of imperfection.Plus: Why being an imperfect human is a superpower.

What if AWS built an IDE to rival your favorite editor? Turns out they did!In this episode of AWS Bites, we dive into Kiro, an AI centric fork of VS Code that tries to turn an empty repo and a loose idea into working software. Kiro imports your VS Code world, then guides you through requirements, design, and a clear task plan before an agent gets to work. We share what clicked, what tripped us up, and how Kiro's spec driven approach compares to Cursor or Claude Code. We also cover status, limits, pricing, and what this could become if AWS leans in with deep cloud integration. Stick around for our take on whether you should switch or wait.Big shoutout to fourTheorem for powering yet another episode of AWS Bites.
