I am truly heartbroken at the passing of Kai. When Kai was going on his run, my dad asked me what I thought about people saying he was better than me and if it bothered me. I said "He is, and no I want to be his friend".
We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

Amazing analysis. Research findings have been plagued by this type of media mischaracterization for decades. Nice to see someone check the math.
"95% of companies see zero ROI from AI"
You've seen this stat everywhere. Fortune. The Economist. FT. Board meetings. VC decks.
It's attributed to "MIT research" so it must be valid, right?
I spent months trying to verify it.
Here's what I found 🧵

This is even more impressive when you know that S3 processes over 100,000,000 requests per second.
Light travels less than 10 feet in the time between requests arriving at S3.

On 1 Dec 2020, AWS S3 announced that all writes to S3 are now strongly consistent (not eventually consistent, like before) *at no price change or latency changes* to any customers.
Pulling this off was probably one of the biggest invisible engineering achievements of the decade

We're excited to see the Linux Foundation establish the Agentic AI Foundation, providing a neutral home for the Model Context Protocol as it becomes critical infrastructure for the AI community. Placing MCP in a vendor-neutral foundation ensures developers can invest confidently in this universal standard, knowing it will remain open, interoperable, and community-driven. We look forward to continuing our contributions to the MCP project alongside @AnthropicAI to unlock new possibilities for agentic AI applications and our customers. linuxfoundation.org/press/li…

Honestly this Kiro output is pretty good. I'm convinced! Now I just need my wife or sister to explain step functions to me.
Using @kirodotdev to prep for Jon's Magic the Gathering event at #AWSreInvent tonight!
ALT What would Jon Finkel's favourite AWS Service be? He's a Magic the Gathering Player and you can use the AWS Documentation MCP to help you. Kiro Ha, this is a fun one! Jon Finkel is one of the greatest Magic: The Gathering players of all time — a Pro Tour champion, Hall of Famer, and known for his analytical, strategic approach to the game. Let me search AWS docs for something that might resonate with a legendary card game strategist: Called MCP tool aws___search_documentation Given Jon Finkel's legendary status in Magic: The Gathering, I'd say his favorite AWS service would be AWS Step Functions. Here's why this is the perfect match: State machines — MTG is all about managing game states, tracking phases, and understanding how the stack resolves. Step Functions is literally built around state machines. Strategic orchestration — Finkel is famous for his methodical, calculated approach to the game. Step Functions orchestrates complex workflows with precise sequencing — just li

"the true test of an AI coding assistant isn’t how well it performs on simplified demos, but whether it can handle the messy, multi-language complexity of actual software projects — the kind developers wrestle with every day."
