@awsdevelopers There doesn’t seem to be a reaction or video that conveys that the problem is not a person, but a process / system. i.e. it shouldn’t be possible for production resource deletion to happen without multiple humans approving.

I hear more and more people worry that AI agents are getting closer to the level of human engineers. I’m more worried that more and more human engineers are getting closer to the level of AI agents.
It is great to see Micronaut adding Scala support! Can anyone help Graeme review the compiler plugin code?
Dear @scala_lang community. This PR adds Scala support to @micronautfw github.com/micronaut-proj… But here is the deal, AI was used in for this PR and I know nothing about Scala 3 compiler plugins nor does anyone else in the Micronaut team. Anybody wanna help? cc @JamesWard
FDEs are a "round peg, square hole" approach. A better approach is Congruent AI tech. If the business system is already Java & Spring (which it likely is, if it is powering significant business value), then Spring AI is the solution, not FDEs.
@utrechtjug @starbuxman @glyc1n Thanks for having us! What an awesome audience! Great questions about production AI systems with Spring & Amazon Bedrock. :)

Enjoying a great evening with splendid talks by @starbuxman, @JamesWard and @glyc1n, delicious food and amazing company. Thank you JetBrains for the giveaways. Big thanks to Keylane for hosting us. Till the next one! #utrecht #jug #java #community
It was really fun talking to Szymon about AI-Native programming languages / Aver!
You know what's more surreal than building a language for AI to write and humans to read? Talking about it with @JamesWard and @BruceEckel in my second language, making hand gestures to explain language design choices. Thanks for having me on @HappyPathProg!
Video: youtube.com/watch?v=D_mPxG… Audio: Wherever you get your podcasts
It's been a bit but the Happy Path Programming podcast is back! @BruceEckel and I chat with @jasisz1 about Aver: The AI-native language where code explains itself.

MCP is evolving for real-world agentic systems. @techgirl1908 (VP of Developer Experience, AAIF) breaks down the 2026-07-28 release candidate, where MCP shifts to a stateless protocol layer and makes state, capabilities, and extensions more explicit. The result is a tighter, more operationally sound foundation for scaling MCP deployments. Read more → bit.ly/4ec2Q0b
