The screenshot is a response to: "Explain 'rubber duck debugging' on a single paragraph"
Here's the notebook so you can try it yourself: github.com/DennisTraub/...

Missed my session at #reinvent? We set up a repeat on Friday at 8:30 AM. I know! The morning after re:Play, right? 😅
But if you'd like to learn how you can add AI to your own apps using Java, C#, JavaScript, or PHP, join me and we'll dive into some code 👨💻

I'm notoriously bad at CSS 😅
I rarely work with it, so writing advanced selectors always leaves me scratching my head. But instead of googling for the 100th time, I tried Amazon Q's new Inline Chat today!
Using AI without interrupting my coding flow really is a game changer! 🚀

That's really helpful! I took a Python dictionary and Amazon Q turned it into valid and formatted JSON, directly in the IDE 🙂
