Last Week In AWS: AWS Discovers ACME Isn't Just Roadrunner Stuff Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

One of the biggest shifts in software development: AI isn't just writing code anymore. It's reviewing code, finding bugs, generating tests, fuzzing systems, and helping teams improve reliability. The tooling is evolving fast. Find out how: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Can AI recreate a cloud platform? Maybe the code. Not the decade of operational experience behind it. Madelyn explains why running systems at scale is still the ultimate competitive advantage. Hear the latest episode: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre... #AWS #CloudComputing #AI #Engineering

Open source maintainers have a new challenge: AI-generated contributions are getting good enough to merge, but still require significant review. The result? More contributions and more work. Listen to the discussion now: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

OpenAI on Bedrock and Other Strange Bedfellows Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

The real skill in AI right now isn’t prompting. It’s knowing: when the model will fail and where humans still matter That’s where the leverage is. New episode with Dexter Horthy. Listen now:

Hot take! Most teams aren’t bad at AI… They’re just using it on problems that can’t be verified. And that’s why it breaks. Dexter Horthy breaks it down in this week’s episode. Listen now: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

The wildest thing about LLMs in dev work isn't speed—it's that "delete the whole thing and rewrite it" is now a reasonable Tuesday afternoon. Used to be a quarterly planning event. Dexter Horthy and I got into it: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

"The evals are getting harder because AI keeps solving them." Which is a hell of a problem to have—your benchmarks expire faster than milk. Dexter Horthy joins me on Screaming in the Cloud: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

AWS Morning Brief for the week of June 1st, with Corey Quinn. Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

The industry's current AI strategy—"throw more tokens at it until the bill becomes someone else's problem"—is not, in fact, engineering. Dexter Horthy joined me to discuss what's actually broken with coding agents. www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Last Week In AWS: AWS and Oracle Together at Last, Apparently Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

"Agentic AI moves your team from reactive to proactive" is a hell of a sentence to put in a deck. I've yet to meet the on-call engineer whose 3am page was solved by an LLM agent, but I remain open to being pleasantly surprised. Eventually. Probably.

"Agentic AI means developers automate ops, troubleshoot faster, and deploy with confidence." Sure. I've also been told this about Chef, Puppet, Kubernetes, GitOps, and ServiceNow. The tools change—the on-call rotation does not.

"Describe the problem, the agent builds-tests-deploys-improves it, then learns for next time." Sure—and I have a bridge to sell you. David Yanacek and I talked about AWS's DevOps agent and what it can actually do today vs. the pitch deck: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

AWS shipped a DevOps agent that writes code, runs tests, diagnoses failures, and learns from incidents. Which is to say—it does the job of the on-call engineer who's currently asleep. We're going to find out if that's a feature. www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Last Week In AWS: M3 Ultra Macs, Claude Platform, and 619 New APIs Walk Into a Bar Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

Hot tip from someone who's watched too many outages: nobody bleeding revenue cares about your root cause. Stop the bleeding, write the postmortem on Monday. David Yanacek and I get into how that reorders AI-powered DevOps: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

DevOps is entering its next era. With agentic AI, developers aren’t just writing code, they’re running, fixing, and optimizing systems autonomously. The future isn’t more tools. It’s fewer manual steps. Listen to the full conversation on the podcast. www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...
