AI Engineer · Intermediate ·☁️ DevOps & Cloud ·3w ago

About this lesson

AI coding assistants are great at completing small tasks or features. However, what do you do when you are working with more complex code bases, and you need to build in-depth features that need upfront planning? This talk explores spec-driven development as a solution to this problem. I'll show you how modern AI coding assistants (like Kiro) can help break down complex tasks into three distinct phases. We'll look at the real-world tradeoffs of this approach, and most importantly and how you can use it in your own projects right away. Speakers: - Erik Hanchett (Amazon Web Services): Erik Hanchett is a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS who teaches developers how to build with modern web, AI, and the cloud.
