AWS Control Tower supports automatic enrollment of accounts

AWS finally lets you drag-drop accounts between OUs without manual busywork. Only took them how many years? Also love that "auto-enrollment" requires toggling flags and API parameters. So automatic!

I recently felt like a 10x developer I read about a lot. While it wasn’t about my #AI tool usage, 80% of my productivity gains were because I choose to sit right next to the actual user.
I received ad-Hoc insights and feedback while #claude #code was working.

Claude Code got custom subagents

i suppose they’re basically common tasks, but executed outside the normal context, like any other subagent

"Amazon didn’t detect the breach. They didn’t stop the malicious code. They didn’t issue a disclosure.

The only reason we’re talking about this is because the hacker wanted attention and 404 Media was paying it."

Ouch. For shame, Amazon.

We risk losing more than we gain if #AI replaces what makes human interaction rewarding. Social animals need the struggle.

This is Kiro - the AI IDE that works on your messy, real-world projects. Other AI tools lose context when projects get complex. Kiro gives you spec-driven development that scales beyond prototypes.

Hey @cursor.com.web.brid.gy, your agent keeps failing with a “Network disconnected [unknown]” error — and api.cursor.dev returns NXDOMAIN. Public DNS confirms the subdomain doesn’t exist. Fix your DNS or give us a new endpoint.

Everybody throws their agent frameworks at the market.
Yesterday OpenAI released their JS version of openai-agents (link below)
I tried a few of them, similar concepts, actually wondering whose gonna get broader traction. Anyone with an opinion yet?

We should be more sensible about what #AI can truly deliver, and emotion-recognition tech is one area I’m more sceptic about.

Wenn Rechtspopulisten „Meinungsfreiheit“ brüllen, meinen sie ganz offensichtlich nur, dass sie von anderen Meinungen befreit werden wollen. Echte Debatten mit Argument und Gegenargument ertragen Trump, Musk, NoAfD & Co nicht. Das ist nicht groß, sondern ganz schön klein. #Harvard
