Coding agents powered by large language models have shown impressive capabilities in software engineering tasks, but evaluating their performance across diverse programming languages and real-world scenarios remains challenging. This led to a recent explosion in benchmark creation to assess the coding effectiveness of said systems in controlled environments. In particular, SWE-Bench which measures the performance […]

Software runs the world – not just the new software applications built in modern languages and deployed on the most optimized cloud infrastructure, but also legacy software built over years and barely understood by the teams that inherit them. These legacy applications may have snowballed into monolithic blocks or may be fragmented across siloed on-premises […]

As I sat down to write this post, my daughter called from the top of the Eiffel Tower on a trip with her high school class. While she excitedly pointed her camera toward the Parisian skyline, I was struck by how technology has transformed our concept of distance. Her world, at eighteen, is infinitely more […]

In this blog post, I dive into the powerful new features of HAQM Q Developer that empower developers to take full control of their development workflow. These features, currently available in Visual Studio Code, allow you to leverage workspace context, explicit context, prompt libraries, and project rules to streamline your software projects, maintain coding standards, […]

Earlier today, HAQM Q Developer announced an enhanced CLI agent within the HAQM Q command line interface (CLI). With this announcement, Q Developer brings the latest agentic experience to the CLI that provide a more dynamic, interactive coding experience that works with you, and iteratively makes changes based on your feedback. HAQM Q Developer can […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open source framework that enables developers to define cloud infrastructure using a familiar programming language. Additionally, CDK provides higher level abstractions (Constructs), which reduce the complexity required to define and integrate AWS services together when building on AWS. CDK also provides core functionality like CDK Assets, which […]
