In 2026 one of the skills that every software engineer, developer or architect will need is the knowledge of quickly identifying the root cause in (unknown) code. This will be a differentiation factor, as more and more code will be AI generated and developers will not know all portions of the code. Being able to visualize the data flow and/or the code flow in your head will proof you to be human and show that your brain is still more capable than any AI coding assitent. Experience and mistakes matter - they set you apart from what's happening in our industry. #SoftwareDevelopment #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic

Genuine question for the weekend ๐Ÿ‘‡ One pipeline for the whole monorepo, or separate pipelines per component? I shipped videos on both this week and I'm still not convinced there's a universal right answer. Curious which way you lean and why. #CICD #DevOps

Saturday coffee, five minutes, no commitment โ˜• If "I should really try Kiro at some point" has been sitting on your list for a while โ€” this is the whole thing, install to first look, in five minutes. ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/RgujqO #Kiro #BuildInPublic

The Kiro Crew feature I can't stop thinking about: automatic "lessons" memory. The agent accumulates what it learned instead of starting cold every session. Honestly, most of my frustration with coding agents is re-explaining context I already explained yesterday. Darko walks through it here ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/s6wquV #Kiro #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic

Friday reminder of a thing that bit me and will bite you too: Your CloudFront certificate has to live in us-east-1. Doesn't matter where the rest of your stack runs. ACM in your home region won't work, and the error message won't be kind about it. It's in the pipeline walkthrough here ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/06JYmg #AWS #CICD #AWSCDK

This week: two CI/CD pipeline walkthroughs and two Kiro deep dives. Shipping and building, both halves. The replies have already given me a solid list of ideas โ€” multi-account pipelines are next. So what should I film after that? Drop it below ๐Ÿ‘‡ I genuinely work from these. #CICD #Kiro #BuildInPublic

Yesterday: the Kiro IDE on-ramp. Today: where it goes next ๐Ÿ‘‡ I sat down with Darko to dig into Kiro Crew โ€” an open-source agentic dev workspace that started inside AWS and is already used by tens of thousands of people internally. Multi-session, orchestration, scheduled tasks, memory. ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/XtDARi #Kiro #AgenticAI #OpenSource

Quick Kiro tip ๐Ÿ”ง Use vibe coding while you're still figuring out what you want. Switch to spec-based the moment the work needs to survive a code review or a second pair of hands. Most of the frustration I see with coding agents is someone vibing a feature that needed a spec. 5-min intro ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/4WtN1g #Kiro #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic

Two days of pipelines โ€” that's how my code ships. The other half of the story is how it gets written. If you haven't tried Kiro yet, this is the 5-minute on-ramp: install, first look, and what's actually different from VS Code ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/LVacGA #Kiro #AgenticAI #BuildInPublic

The honest bit from today's video: My promotion workflow rebuilds artifacts from the tag instead of packaging once and promoting that exact build. It works. It's also not really promotion. Fixing it is on the list. Full walkthrough ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/CZ27sz #CICD #GitHubActions #BuildInPublic

Live now! ๐Ÿš€ CI/CD Refresher: Multi-Stage GitHub Actions Pipeline for Pegasus Galaxy Pegasus Galaxy is my browser + mobile conqueror game: serverless backend (AppSync + DynamoDB + CDK) and three frontends โ€” Flutter app, Angular join page, public leaderboard. Parallel tests, parallel deploys, then promotion across environments. Interesting contrast with yesterday's: same builder, opposite structure. Two pipelines there, one multi-stage pipeline here ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/V3rnNy #CICD #GitHubActions #Serverless #AWSCDK

Round two in 20 minutes โฑ๏ธ Yesterday: two separate pipelines for one monorepo. Today: a different project of mine that goes the other way โ€” one multi-stage GitHub Actions pipeline, parallel tests, three frontends, promotion across environments ๐Ÿš€ Link shortly ๐Ÿ‘‡ #CICD #GitHubActions #BuildInPublic

If you've ever wondered whether your CI/CD is "too simple" โ€” mine has a manual gate and a container-restart hack, and it ships fine ๐Ÿคท Yesterday's video walks through the whole real setup: CDK backend + Flutter web, one monorepo, two pipelines. lckhd.eu/CxgZYn (And there's a second CI/CD video landing 14:30 today โ€” different project, different pipeline design ๐Ÿ‘€) #CICD #BuildInPublic

One bit from today's video I want to call out on its own: My production deploy has a manual migration guard. Everything else is automated, but anything touching data waits for a human. Not elegant. Has saved me more than once. Full pipeline walkthrough ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/TD4phP #CICD #DevOps #BuildInPublic

Still buzzing from AWS Community Day DACH in Berlin last week ๐Ÿฆธ 7am setup, two sessions moderated, a packed Community Builder Meetup, a day with fellow Heroes. Brain full, notebook fuller ๐Ÿ““ It also reminded me why I started this channel in the first place: CI/CD. So I stopped talking about it and filmed it โ€” that one went live earlier today ๐Ÿ‘‡ lckhd.eu/C9RsaA @AWSCommunityDE #AWSCommunityDayDACH26 #CICD #BuildInPublic

It's live! ๐Ÿš€ My Real-World CI/CD in 2026: AWS CDK Backend + Flutter Web Frontend (Monorepo) No reference architecture. This is the actual setup running the app I built for my handball group โ€” two separate pipelines in one monorepo, and why the backend and frontend deliberately don't release together. ๐Ÿ‘‰ lckhd.eu/zFIbqf #CICD #AWSCDK #Flutter #BuildInPublic
