What #devprod metrics matter for Internal #DevEx?
-Environment build time and crash/error rates 
-CI/CD pipeline delays 
-Time in and length of the inner dev loop 
- Time spent waiting for code reviews or other collaboration requests

This website https://viewdns.info/, just like https://expeditedsecurity.com/aws-in-plain-english/ is a good example of nice #devex.
Yes, being technical I should know what "Reverse MX Lookup" means. But it also takes 30 characters and little effort for you to make it so much clearer to me.

SQS-Admin is now available as native @localstack #extension omitting the necessity to launch additional containers to use #SQS-Admin.
Just integrated, just convenient.

#Cursor #IDE doesn't stop to amaze me. I had an old web scraper in #Python. It stopped working because the scraped website changed. I simply prompted that "it no longer finds the right data". No other details. It:
1. Run a few `curl` commands to analyze how the HTML looks now (!)
2. Adjusted CSS selectors (!!)
3. Run the program to figure out if it now works (it did!!!)
4. But Cursor didn't know that, so it added some print statements for himself, re-run and verify the output (!!!!)
#AI #DevEx
The good thing about the new Lambda Console based on VS Code, seems like #AWS is now faster to deliver improvements directly into this IDE.
Latest improvements were
* Cloudwatch Logs live tail in VS Code
* Step Function Workflow Studio integration
No need to leave the IDE 
We recently wrote about using AI for software development. Check out the practical ways to level up your workflow.

SQS-Admin 0.7.0 is out 
Highlight is
* the decreased #Docker image size from 20MB to 9MB
* app does no longer run as root
Queue management and interaction with #LocalStack made easy.

Last week was my first time doing a Keynote, and also my first time speaking in almost two years! And it was a special day, since I brought one of my daughters for the first time 
. What a cool day. We talked about #developerexperience, obviously!
I’ve put some time into drying to make a short, yet comprehensive, definition of Developer Experience.

What do you think?
6 days of writing copy 50% of the time, drawing awful diagrams for the designer to improve and generally hating life 
marketing is the pits, can’t wait till I can afford someone to make the pretty words, which is a challenge at the pointy end of #gitOps and #devex
My branding agent should arrive soon. She’ll be rocking in the corner after a few more hours of containers and catalogs
As a developer, I'm more passionate about optimizing the way people work together, than the way my coded algorithms work, because the prior lies at the heart of 95% of the problems in delivered software, including poorly performing algorithms. #dev #devex #softwaredevelopment

SQS-Admin 0.6.2 is out
With updated dependencies, new contributors, and nearly 60,000 downloads.
Queue management and interaction with #LocalStack made easy.
Woohoo progress! So now new service catalogs added to a set of environments by #backstage spawns the machinery and auto wires up some grafana dashboards and the input datasources and scrapers.
Services launched in the catalogs are auto discovered and added to this dash.
(Demo panel, we got some fancy dashboards to run off the same data)
I was grateful to be asked to give two talks at #DeveloperWeek around #DevEx. Below are the slides for the second talk on some ways to champion DevEx in your organization.
Thank you to those who were part of the packed room for my "Why #DevEx matters" talk at #DeveloperWeek. I had a great time reminiscing with you on where we've come, and where we can go in creating a good #DeveloperExperience.
Here are the slides:

Focus on developer productivity and the #DevEx will flow naturally.

I might be stating the obvious for some folk, but I think there's a place for "Local #AI" in development workflows, and it doesn't seem to be too expensive, or hard, to set up.
