😍 G'day Beautiful People...and today is Kiro Weds...why Kiro...because I wanted to share some of latest experiments and learning with the Kiro IDE...🎉 Original post is here 👇 linkedin.com/posts/paulcolme… 🤔 Kiro is AWS’s new agentic AI IDE (think VS Code but supercharged with serious AI agents). It’s built to take you from quick “let’s see what happens” experiments all the way to production-grade, reliable code. For trainers, builders, and anyone who lives in the messy middle of demos and course creation, it’s been a game-changer. Two key features: 1️⃣ - Vibe Coding This is the fun, conversational flow. You chat naturally with the AI...“make this more compelling”, “add a click handler for each section”, “align the style with my other interactive boards”...and it iterates with you in real time. Using this feature I've created a range of interactive HTML boards that I can use to help explain a service or feature that was released last week...🚀 Check my short video below showing some of the interactive boards...🛹 2️⃣ - Spec-Driven Development (SDD) Describe what you want in plain English and it generates: 🔥Proper user stories with acceptance criteria 🔥A technical design (with diagrams!) 🔥A clear task list it can execute step-by-step So I asked it to create an app to help revise for my SA Pro...I worked through ensuring the spec was detailed. 🤔 Did it work as expected? No...I gave it too much responsibility...asked it for a significant amount of work without prototyping... burnt a few 1000 credits...and it didn't quite create what I wanted. 👨‍🎓Learning: Use SDD to prototype specific single features...and then use another spec to bring them together or use the vibe feature to glue it together. Instead of using SDD to develop my SA Pro learning app...I'm using the vibe feature to create specific interactive learning boards for each task statement...😍 That's all the learning for today. Have a fantastic Weds. This is At Digital Colmer developing off...📺 P Co-written with Gen AI...😎 #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #Kiro

"A Plateau Isn't a Ceiling. It's a Message About What Has to Change Next" @Schwarzenegger Next time you think you have hit your limit, either physically or mentally. Instead of giving up...think about needs to change to exceed that limit...🤔 In the gym, your bench press stalls for weeks despite consistent training. It's not your genetic ceiling. Your body has adapted to the current training. To get stronger, change the exercise...the volume, intensity, technique, recovery, or exercise selection...🚀 #TheDigitalCoach #Learning #Agile

😍 G'day Beautiful People...and welcome to Dev Team Saturday. Why Dev Team...well....what if your Dev Team could ship features at lightning speed... and actually love their work while doing it? 🚀 Original post is here 👇 linkedin.com/posts/paulcolme… Welcome to the wonderful world of the AI Driven Development Lifecycle... where AI automation dances beautifully with human oversight, and the magic genuinely happens ✨ I have been completely geeking out over the brand new AWS Skill Builder Knowledge Badge Readiness Path... AI Driven Development Lifecycle Foundations... and folks, it is an absolute beauty 🤩 🎯 Why this stuff actually matters...? • Velocity through the roof (ship value faster) • Quality goes up, not down (no more 2am pages) • Innovation runs wild (because developers are unblocked) • Humans stay firmly in the driver's seat (trust intact) 🧑‍💻 Who is this for? • Product Owners surfing the AI tsunami • Developers wanting to 10x their craft • QAs reimagining testing for an AI augmented world • Architects designing for what comes next • Honestly... anyone in the SDLC who wants to stay relevant ⏱️ Total time investment? Just 4 hours 19 minutes... shorter than three episodes of The Star Wars trilogy... and it's completely free... 🚀 Built by the AWS Technical Field Communities... real practitioners sharing real lessons learned. 📊 🎁 Grab your badge and start the learning plan right here: lnkd.in/gSUw3nnS P.S. I have dropped 2 more absolute goodies in the comments below... your AI coding companion and the full Skill Builder playground 👇 🤔 So here is my cheeky challenge for you... if AI could take 50% of the grunt work off your plate tomorrow, what would you finally have time to build? Drop a comment below... I would genuinely love to hear your wildest idea💡 That is all for now from Digital Colmer HQ... stay safe, take care, and remember... the future of development is already here, we just need to learn how to dance with it 💃 At Digital Colmer coding off.... 📺 P #TheDigitalCoach #AWS #GenerativeAI Co-Written with Gen AI.... 😍
