2025 has been the most gratifying year of my career. Felt privileged to share the #AWSreInvent stage with @abaibourova and tell the true story of how I went from #AI skeptic to power user, sparking a company-wide grassroots movement of tens of thousands of #Amazon builders.

Agent Skills is now an open standard It's been great to see the traction Skills are already getting in the industry and this makes it easier for everyone to build and contribute to them🚀 https://t.co/8SSD67MCNA

The new AWS DevOps Agent is out in open preview! Speed up your incident resolution time, and prevent future ones. More in this #AWSreInvent talk, but you can set it up and use it in (much) less time than the talk takes!

Cdk on Kiro!

Also got to demo Agent SOPs, a simple but powerful technique for creating “determin-ish-tic” agentic workflows. Agent SOPs are an innovation that came from our internal builder community and is now open source to benefit the broader AI community.

AI coding productivity maxes out quickly with prompt engineering alone You have to fix your codebase to unlock the real gains. Your coding agent needs to build, test, fix on its own, not ask you to review at every step. Use a statically typed lang, modularize, add docs and tests

Introducing Strands Agent SOPs – Natural Language Workflows for AI Agents from @awscloud, by @jameshoodcodes https://t.co/1lMPqHYmaa

Thanks to @Werner for including me in his keynote yesterday, it was a true pleasure to tell the story of Kiro's beginnings https://t.co/ViPc0AG9Iz

Launch #2 I'm excited about today: STRANDS TYPESCRIPT SDK These days, coding agents generate most of my code, even AI agent code. Typescript outperforms Python for agentic coding: early compiler errors speed up iteration. Bring on the Typescript agents! https://t.co/x1Duptvvlu

Selfie or it didn’t happen! 😄

The Kiro haunted house at reInvent

There's so much to see and do re:Invent 2025.

Really excited to give this talk at @AWSreInvent with @abaibourova! Come learn about Amazon's internal transformation to #AI-Native software development through a mix of grassroots builder energy and organizational support. Excited to tell this story! https://t.co/XTPD6DHRbI

Thanksgiving surprise 🦃 Kiro CLI is now connected to the web - search the web and fetch pages to get the latest information. I've been using this heavily since agent frameworks and tools change so frequently

Excited to give this code talk with @maishsk! Going to show how we use AI internally at Amazon to accelerate development. Don't miss it!

I'm looking forward to speaking in Werner Vogel's keynote next week at AWS reInvent! I'm polishing my slides and talking points this week, and really loving the whole segment Thurs, Dec 4 | 3:30-4:30 PM PT | Join us in Vegas or on the livestream https://t.co/cIdQoYtrKr

Really excited about this new Agent SOPs open source project! https://t.co/YwY17tEhhH We use this structured agent prompt format a LOT at Amazon with coding assistants to automate daily work - there are 1000s of agent SOPs internally https://t.co/W78ehUGd6e

Are you curious how Amazon's internal teams are leveraging #AI assistants to accelerate their development cycles? 🤔 Join our code talk DEV403 | How Amazon Teams Use AI Assistants to Accelerate Development at #AWSreInvent #AWS #DeveloperTools #generativeAI https://t.co/vF9yS7MY2D

there is a lot of wisdom in this thread. joe coaches the research and compute teams at openai; i super enjoy working with him. one superpower is that he deeply understands emotional clarity and how to get there; this will be one of the most critical skills in a post-AGI world.

My first impressions of the Q CLI 🧵 Disclaimer, I work at AWS, but I've warned the product team I'm going to share my honest reactions in this thread! https://t.co/UqrjlRMPYm
