A junior dev asked the staff engineer: "How do I know if the AI's code is correct?"
The staff engineer replied: "How do you know if yours is?"
The junior dev was enlightened. Prod went down.

@zack_overflow I'm betting on Bun being faster and more stable.

suggesting that typescript should be compiled to WASM or whatever is missing the forest for the trees:

typescript should be supported natively in the browser

get rid of the toolchain entirely so people can just use typescript the same way they can just use javascript, you nerds

Super excited to get started as an @AWS Community Builder in the Dev Tools category.

[Om Patel @om_patel5]

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens.

normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task

caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task

"I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens
caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens

every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved

why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops.

no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words

"result. done. me stop."

50-75% burn reduction

with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

Proud to announce: I’m now an AWS Community Builder! ☁️

Honored to join ~3,000 builders worldwide. Grateful to @awscloud and the amazing AWS User Group community.

It's helpful.

[Dr Milan Milanović @milan_milanovic]

Most of the people who think that AI will replace developers are:

- Managers who don’t code
- Investors and startup founders selling it
- People outside tech

Developers: "It's helpful."

@Bencera I set up Polsia for my org. It did a little too much! But by far one of the most interesting products I've come across. 4.5m ARR is crazy

Use TanStack.

[Matteo Collina @matteocollina]

We benchmarked TanStack Start, React Router, and Next.js running the exact same eCommerce app at 1,000 req/s on AWS EKS.

The results were eye-opening.

Even the best developer tools mostly still don't let you sign up for an account via API. This is a big miss in the claude code age because it means that claude can't sign up on its own.

Putting all your account management functions in your API should be tablestakes now.
