Basically you give a coding agent a goal and a stop condition, and it loops until it's done. In the video I go over telling Kiro Web to fix a PR's failing CI until it's green, and why I'd still reach for spec-driven dev first. ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1tgkuCcQBo

I keep hearing about "loop engineering" everywhere lately. So I made a quick video on what it actually is, and why I think a lot of it is hype. 👇

It's really easy to get into a situation where you generate duplicate code, dead code, and lengthy functions. Here are a few tools that I've been using to help eliminate that 👇

Everyone's installing AI coding "skills" but which ones should you use? So I rounded up the big ones: Superpowers, Karpathy, Matt Pocock, GStack, GSD, plus the AWS Agent Toolkit. What each is good at, and how to install them. Full post + video 👇 dev.to/aws/the-most...

And I made sure that Kiro used the Chrome MCP tool throughout to make sure what was built was correct. Mobile Lighthouse scores were very good as well.

Erik Hanchett @erikch.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

When I built it, I mostly just described what I wanted, made sure it was mobile responsive, and did some slight tweaks in the HTML/CSS while I was at it. 🔥🔥🔥

I upgraded my personal website using Kiro this weekend. I added dark mode, a better mobile nav, and some fun easter eggs. Hover over the hero image to see for yourself! 👀 +1 if you get the reference.

Exactly, that’s how I start a lot of my projects !

One thing I like about Kiro is that it lets you go requirements first or design first. I like this because it fits how I work. Sometimes I’m already deep into the design before I fully know the requirements. Other times it’s the opposite. 👇

My favorite Roman. “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Feels just as true in software as it probably did 2,000 years ago.

People keep saying MCP is dead, but I literally found it in the streets of Rome. 😆

This is cool. First time hearing about this, so pardon my ignorance, but how does it compare to Oxlint? Is the main difference how it handles templates vs. scripts?

Played around with vinext earlier this week and came away thinking, yeah, frontend tooling is moving ridiculously fast right now. It’s still early, but seeing a Next-like API rebuilt on top of Vite was pretty neat, and the build speed was the first thing that jumped out at me 👇

🔥 By default autocomplete is turned off in Kiro, however you can easily turn it on by clicking the Autocomplete in the status bar at the bottom. Or bringing up the command pallete (Cmd + Shift + P / Ctrl + Shift + P) and searching for the Kiro autocomplete (Cmd K, Cmd A). 🔥

This will then complete tasks one-by-one until it hits task four then stops. This is a good pattern because you can double check that each step is completed before continuing on. For a full list of Kiro tips check out my latest blog post -> kiro.hashnode.dev/top-8-tips-w...

🔥Kiro Tip: When creating a new spec, you'll be presented with a task list after the requirements and design is created. Instead of clicking "Start task" use the chat to tell Kiro how to complete the tasks. For example you could type:👇 Please complete tasks 1-4, stop at 4. 🔥

🔥Kiro Tip: Use file matching patterns when creating your steering files! Files are automatically included only when working with ones that match the specified pattern. In this example steering files will only be included in the context for components with the *.tsx extension🔥
