OpenAI frontier models and Codex are now generally available on AWS, giving enterprises a new way to build on Amazon Bedrock with OpenAI through the security, compliance, and governance workflows they already use.
This is also the beginning of a broader expansion of OpenAI capabilities on AWS, including future availability for cybersecurity capabilities like Daybreak.

Starting to REALLY see how reaching potential customers is becoming a massive pain point for software startups - esp w AI!
I get so much more messages about software that founders built rapidly that they think will solve some important problem (usually eg AI+context/trust/security).
But how will anyone know about it?
It was fast to build, but getting the world to know about it / care about it is increasingly hard/expensive/time-consuming.
And the irony is: the "easier" it is to build, the more the only differentiation is marketing/advertising! (Because the easier it is to build, the more teams build something similar in parallel, and racing to win the market becomes key!)
Stripe Managed Payments is now generally available.
I wired Managed Payments into an Astro app using the @StripeDev Power in @kirodotdev:
- read pricing tiers from the site
- created products + recurring prices in Stripe with MCP
- generated the checkout endpoint
- tax-classifications
No manual product setup in the Stripe Dashboard.

Huge thanks to @siegerts and the @kirodotdev team for having Luther CTO Sam Wood to talk about InsideOut on last week's livestream. Stephen was a fantastic host and it was a great session to be part of.

That’s what I equate taste to - experience, operational excellence, and actual design sense. But the act of having blockers related to generating code (or ideas) isn’t the hurdle. With those things in place, code is commodity and effectively cheaper. Instututional knowledge still has cost.
