@Radha_AI Wouldn’t I have to not watch 2 hours of Netflix?

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

AWS just launched the **Agent Plugin for AWS Serverless** — a modular AI coding assistant plugin that packages skills, sub-agents, hooks, and MCP servers to guide developers through the *entire* serverless development lifecycle. Here's what that means in plain terms: You can now use AI tools like Claude Code or Cursor to build Lambda functions, wire up EventBridge and Kinesis triggers, scaffold SAM/CDK projects, design API Gateway endpoints (REST, HTTP, WebSocket), and even implement Lambda Durable Functions — all with built-in AWS best practices baked in automatically. **Why cert candidates should care:** The exam domains this touches are significant: - **DVA-C02**: Development with AWS services, Lambda, SAM, CI/CD pipelines, IaC - **SAA-C03**: Serverless architecture patterns, event-driven design, decoupled systems **Real-world scenario:** A Developer Associate tasked with building an order-processing pipeline could use this plugin inside Claude Code to scaffold a SAM template, connect a Kinesis stream trigger to Lambda, add CloudWatch observability hooks, and generate a CI/CD pipeline — in minutes, with architectural guardrails already applied. This is the direction cloud development is heading. Understanding *what the AI is doing under the hood* — the SAM templates, the CDK constructs, the API Gateway configurations — is exactly what separates a certified professional from someone just clicking buttons. 💬 Are you using AI coding assistants in your AWS workflow yet? Drop a comment — we'd love to know how you're integrating these tools into your study and practice labs. 👉 Follow **TechReformers** for cert-focused breakdowns of every major AWS release.

I just finished the P1-C01 - AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional (Beta) Exam! 🎉I’m finally catching my breath. It was 85 questions in about 220 minutes ⏲️I needed every minute of it. I had around 5 minutes for review but didn't manage to get through all my flagged responses. I took the exam at a testing center and was allowed a quick break (though the timer kept running, but highly recommended!🚾). Today was the last day to take the beta version (85 questions instead of 75 and $150 instead of $300). I might be the last person to take that exam since it was after 6pm EDT 🤷The Skill Builder learning path was indeed a good way to prepare. It includes a lot of hands-on 🧤practice, and I also supplemented my studies with courses on Agent Core and Strands. I've been doing a lot of AI development for SMB/mid-market use cases. Like the Skill Builder examples, many of the scenarios involve enterprise-level use cases with millions of users and complex architectures that require compliance. As with any certification, this is not an end. Whether I pass or not, it will still be a learning journey. Next up could be DevOps, CloudOps, Security, or Data or it could be a second try on Gen AI Dev Pro. I should know tomorrow 🙏
