I asked my kids for help making burgers and offered $1/patty. I wanted 6 patties. I got 20 meatballs and grins. What does this mean for AI?... Agents do what you ask them to do, and if you incentivize them in a certain way, they will respond accordingly.

Learning to leverage AI effectively is probably the best investment you can make in yourself. I use each of these services many times per day, and for the order-of-magnitude boost in productivity, it is well worth it. What do you think?

Not sure what to say about this one. I suppose it really shows the gulf between smaller quantized models and the large models like 4o and Sonnet

@darko.rup12.net so I am debugging some python code that looked like:

my_map[key] = []
my_map[key].append({"foo" : "bar"})
my_map[key] = {"baz" : "qux"} # should have been append

I really need to switch to rust

@quinnypig.com I completely agree with this. And also non-obvious is that your individual account must become an AWS Organization before you can setup IAM Identity Center. Its frustrating! Hopefully the path gets smoothed out over time.

So cool to see my Dad @jeffbarr.bsky.social honored for all the massive body of work he's put together. I've had an inside view of just how much effort has gone into those 1.5M words over the past 2 decades! This is a well-deserved celebration!

For all the #awsreinvent folks, what bit of gear from home do you find makes travel easier? Fror me, bringing along a full size keyboard is always worth the effort.

Or as Mitch Hedberg put it: All right, you're a stand-up comedian, can you write us a script? That's not fair. That's like if I worked hard to become a cook, and I'm a really good cook, they'd say, "OK, you're a cook. Can you farm?"
