You can't optimize what you can't measure. Carbon and cost are the similar signal. The new AWS Sustainability console puts emissions data in the right hands, without exposing billing data. Measure it like it matters. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/anno…

@LunaAiSystems Agreed! I am thinking of investing more time on the walk-the-code component to make it more “reusable”.

@danilop walk-the-code as the spine for a tutorial like this is so right — line by line is where the intuition actually lands

@elias_dzobo Thank you! If/when you have time, please tell me what you like and what can be improved! I am planning to add new labs and maybe a new separate agentic course with its own labs.

@danilop This is golden 🔥🔥🔥

You can use the web tutorial online or clone/fork the repo to run the code as in the video. Let me know here or in an issue if something is not clear or should be improved! github.com/danilop/micro-…

The interactive web tutorial is powered by walk-the-code, a standalone line-by-line code tutorial viewer with multi-language support, chapters, Mermaid diagrams with per-line node highlighting, and stale annotation detection: github.com/danilop/walk-t…

Looking forward to moderating this panel with research and product design leads from Amazon's AGI Lab and IBM on what it really takes to build and deploy AI agents. Come see the Nova AI Hackathon winners demo their projects and hang out with us at the Builder Loft in SF on April 9. Register or join the livestream! go.aws/4bJ3MJq

I am looking for a new role following a company-wide downsizing. I’ve spent the last 4 years as Head of Developer Relations at Appwrite, and it gave me more career and personal growth than any other role I’ve had. They truly pushed me to my full potential, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. I’m proud of everything we accomplished. It’s been an amazing run! I recently read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, and now this is one of my favorite books. If you haven’t read it, you really should. It’s about finding purpose, even in the most difficult circumstances. With both of my kids heading off to college in the next couple of years, I’ve been thinking a lot about what drives me. For me, it’s meaningful work. Waking up each day to build, contribute, create value, and make an impact is what motivates me. I’m looking for a Developer Relations role as a: * Founding team member * Senior / Staff * Head of / Director / VP If you’re building in tech, especially AI, and need someone to own the bridge between product and community, I’d love to connect. If you know of a strong fit, I’d appreciate any leads or introductions.

Excellent work indeed: tokio.rs/blog/2026-03-1…

🆕 I recently replaced my hosted blog site with a fully custom #serverless platform built on 16+ #AWS services including CloudFront, Lambda, DynamoDB, SES, Cognito and more. The entire build took under 10 hours using #ClaudeCode as my AI pair programmer. It's amazing how much you can get done with these tools in the hands of an experienced developer. I was lucky to attend AWS re:Invent 2025 and was in the room for Werner Vogels' final keynote about "The Dawn of the Renaissance Developer". It genuinely inspired me to start building many things. The result with this particular project is a production-quality blogging platform with a newsletter system, comment moderation, custom analytics, and sub-second page loads globally - all for under $10/month. But I want to be honest. AI-assisted development isn't magic. The AI makes mistakes, hallucinates API parameters, and picks the wrong patterns. What makes it work is an experienced developer who can guide, correct, and review. The human in the loop matters more than the AI. I wrote up the breakdown of what I built, how the workflow actually works, and where human judgment was critical. lckhd.eu/iKY2hv
