Introducing Kiro, an all-new agentic IDE that has a chance to transform how developers build software. Let me highlight three key innovations that make Kiro special: 1 - Kiro introduces spec-driven development, helping developers express their intent clearly through natural language specifications and architecture diagrams for complex features. This comprehensive context helps Kiro’s AI agents deliver better results with fewer iterations. 2 - Kiro features intelligent agent hooks that automatically handle critical but time-consuming tasks like generating documentation, writing tests, and optimizing performance. These hooks work in the background, triggered by events like saving files or making commits. It’s like having an experienced developer constantly reviewing your work and handling the maintenance tasks that often get delayed. 3 - Kiro provides a purpose-built interface that adapts to how developers work. Whether you prefer chat interactions or working with specifications, Kiro supports your workflow while keeping you in control of the development process. Kiro is really good at "vibe coding" but goes well beyond that. While other AI coding assistants might help you prototype quickly, Kiro helps you take those prototypes all the way to production by following a mature, structured development process out of the box. This means developers can spend less time on boilerplate code and more time where it matters most – innovating and building solutions that customers will love. Starting today, Kiro is available for free during preview and supports most popular programming languages. Here’s how to get started with Kiro today: Excited to see how developers use Kiro, and to work with the developer community to continue to shape Kiro moving forward.

Before software engineers even begin writing code, they have to set the stage of the entire development process. This process requires engineers to make complex tradeoffs between requirements, system design, and implementations details. Current IDEs that rely on AI features, like chat and inline coding, can help engineers get the job done quickly on small development tasks. Still, engineers spend much more time on larger projects—even after the initial code is generated—by conducting rigorous testing and creating documentation. This is where today’s AI IDEs can do more to accelerate the development lifecycle—and this is why we built Kiro. Kiro is an AI IDE that helps you go from prototype to production with spec-driven development and agent hooks. From simple to complex tasks, Kiro works alongside you to turn prompts into detailed specs, then into working code, docs, and test so what you build is exactly what you want and ready to share with your team. After a developer builds the code with Kiro, Kiro’s agent hooks help engineers solve challenging problems and automate tasks like generating documentation and unit tests. Kiro brings structure and mature engineering practices to AI coding, so you can go from concept to application while being in the driver’s seat every step of the way. Kiro is free during preview, and supports Mac, Windows, and Linux, and most popular programming languages. We're excited for you to try it out and let us know what you think ➡️

How is AI changing software development? Martin Fowler (Martin Fowler) says AI is the biggest shift in the field since high-level languages appeared (ones like Fortran or C, offering a new abstaction level to code at, versus Assembly). We also talked about where GenAI works well, thoughts on refactoring, software architecture and more. I very much recommend checking out the whole episode: • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Brought to you by: •⁠ Statsig ⁠ — ⁠ The unified platform for flags, analytics, experiments, and more. Check it out: •⁠ Linear ⁠ — ⁠ The system for modern product development. Read how Linear does Quality Wednesdays – it’s fascinating:

New course: Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents, built in partnership with JetBrains, and taught by Paul Everitt | @pauleveritt@fosstodon.org. Vibe coding is fast, but often produces code that doesn't match what you asked for. This short course teaches you spec-driven development: write a detailed spec defining what to build, and work with your coding agent to implement it. Many of the best developers already build this way. A spec lets you control large code changes with a few words, preserve context across agent sessions, and stay in control as your project grows in complexity. Skills you'll gain: - Write a detailed specification to define your mission, tech stack, and roadmap, giving your agent the context it needs from the start - Plan, implement, and validate features in iterative loops using a spec as your agent's guide - Apply the same repeatable workflow to both new and legacy codebases - Package your workflow into a portable agent skill that works across agents and IDEs Join and write specs that keep your coding agent on track!

Some personal hot takes from AI: engineer Miami follows... 1. Software development is a dead-end profession because anyone can be a software developer now. 2. Anyone can use Cursor or any other tool and generate code. Being a coder and being a software engineer are different. 3. Computers used to be gated; now everyone has the power to make computers malleable. Everyone is a software developer now, but that does not mean they are software engineers 4. If you cannot demonstrate how a coding agent works, you are just a consumer and have imposed an artificial glass ceiling on your career as a software engineer. 5. If you are curious, you will have a job. If you have not been curious in the last two years, you are replaceable. 6. SaaS per-seat economics may become unstable as customers need fewer people to achieve results, prompting founders to think about new unit economics 7. Most companies will take two or three years (or more!) to figure out AI transformation. 8. Some companies are already building AI native teams of five to ten people who can build with the grain of AI 9. There will be an explosion in the number of software developers. Software development is now essentially free, and tokens are cheaper than humans 10. Not enough engineers know what it means to be a product engineer 11. JIRA ticket monkeys are cooked 12. If your company has banned AI, you should quit that company 13. AI is more like a musical instrument than just a tool play with it, make discoveries, build intuition learn where AI is good and where it fails

Someone shared a fascinating visual of an AI agent moving through a real codebase - reviewing structures, making decisions, and committing changes. It’s a reminder that software development is quietly entering a new phase. Not automation in the traditional sense, but systems that can understand context, navigate complexity, and contribute meaningfully. We’re still early, but the trajectory is unmistakable: coding is becoming more collaborative between humans and intelligent agents than ever before.

It’s time to… ideate? With vibe coding on the rise, Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 and Erik Torenberg explore a thought experiment: Can a non-technical founder, armed with AI agents, outbuild a team of elite engineers? If generalists can summon depth on demand — are we entering the era where the “ideas guy” actually wins?

We are announcing potpie AI $2.2M pre-seed fundraise to advance Spec-Driven Development for large enterprise codebases. The round is led by Emergent Ventures , with participation from All In Capital , DeVC , and PointOne Capital , along with the support of some amazing angel investors from companies including Atlassian, OpenAI, Meta, Razorpay and Flobiz. As AI accelerates code generation, the constraint inside large enterprises has shifted from coding to maintenance and assurance. The limiting factor is no longer writing code, but understanding complex systems, aligning teams around intent, and safely evolving large, interdependent codebases. In most organizations, specifications exist as static documents, while production systems evolve independently. Context is fragmented across repositories, tickets, logs, reviews, and floating documents making reliable AI adoption difficult. We are building the foundational layer that makes Spec-Driven Development executable at scale. By unifying engineering context and operationalizing the spec as a structured source of truth, we enable AI systems to reason with architectural awareness rather than surface-level code completion. We are already working with large enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 organizations. This milestone allows us to deepen those partnerships and support more teams transitioning from experimental AI usage to structured, production-grade AI-first engineering workflows. If you are leading engineering at scale and evaluating how AI should integrate into mission-critical systems, we would love to chat with you!
