AI agents being able to run unit tests is SUCH a massive unlock.
If you're a dev who has utilized unit tests heavily: using a tool like Claude Code makes so much sense.
And if you don't yet use tests: with AI agents, don't see how you would not do it sooner or later...

When has the tech industry become so hostile to interns/new grads/early-career engineers?
I post that there's finally some good news of a *few* (not many!) companies hiring interns/juniors and the response is universally negative

One of the perks of my job is to work closely with amazing tech professionals working for these companies (AWS customers).
I keep observing how a bunch of large companies have *really* smart engineers doing *really* complex+challenging+interesting work and... no one knows about it outside. I only get to know about it by chance.

This will come across as super biased but I swear I'm using Amazon Q to write tests for a serverless workload (step functions) and it's amazing like water in the desert. I wish I had Q as a customer 6 years ago 😭♥️

The vast majority of MCP servers today aren't actually servers 😱 They run as a child process and communicate over stdio, a bit awkward for distributed systems trying to use MCP.
Backend apps can now run existing stdio MCP servers in Lambda functions with this new library:

Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement.
Psychological safety REQUIRES:
* disagreement and debate
* setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them
* telling people things they don't want to hear
* courage, from the bottom up
* humility, from the top down
