I keep hearing about "loop engineering" everywhere lately. So I made a quick video on what it actually is, and why I think a lot of it is hype. 👇

Basically you give a coding agent a goal and a stop condition, and it loops until it's done. In the video I go over telling Kiro Web to fix a PR's failing CI until it's green, and why I'd still reach for spec-driven dev first. ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1tgkuCcQBo

It's really easy to get into a situation where you generate duplicate code, dead code, and lengthy functions. Here are a few tools that I've been using to help eliminate that 👇

Everyone's installing AI coding "skills" but which ones should you use? So I rounded up the big ones: Superpowers, Karpathy, Matt Pocock, GStack, GSD, plus the AWS Agent Toolkit. What each is good at, and how to install them. Full post + video 👇 dev.to/aws/the-most...

I upgraded my personal website using Kiro this weekend. I added dark mode, a better mobile nav, and some fun easter eggs. Hover over the hero image to see for yourself! 👀 +1 if you get the reference.

And I made sure that Kiro used the Chrome MCP tool throughout to make sure what was built was correct. Mobile Lighthouse scores were very good as well.

I had a great time at VueConf this year! Thanks to everyone who came up and chatted with me. Here are a few pictures, I took. Until next year! 🍻👇

I built my own AI butler. 🌝 It wakes up every hour, pulls from Hacker News and Reddit, and sends me a trending stories digest on Telegram. 🚀 Full tutorial + video 👇

One thing I like about Kiro is that it lets you go requirements first or design first. I like this because it fits how I work. Sometimes I’m already deep into the design before I fully know the requirements. Other times it’s the opposite. 👇

Played around with vinext earlier this week and came away thinking, yeah, frontend tooling is moving ridiculously fast right now. It’s still early, but seeing a Next-like API rebuilt on top of Vite was pretty neat, and the build speed was the first thing that jumped out at me 👇

Alright, I had to try out Vite+ with Vue, and find out what all the fuss is about... 👇

I’m leaning all about SBOMs from @saltnburnem at @CommitYourCode !

It was great seeing everyone at CascadiaJS! Here are some pictures! Until next year!

🔥Kiro Tip: When creating a new spec, you'll be presented with a task list after the requirements and design is created. Instead of clicking "Start task" use the chat to tell Kiro how to complete the tasks. For example you could type:👇 Please complete tasks 1-4, stop at 4. 🔥

🔥Kiro Tip: Use file matching patterns when creating your steering files! Files are automatically included only when working with ones that match the specified pattern. In this example steering files will only be included in the context for components with the *.tsx extension🔥
