My first impressions of the Q CLI 🧵

Disclaimer, I work at AWS, but I've warned the product team I'm going to share my honest reactions in this thread!

So strange:

Practically no one outside of Amazon seems to know about Amazon Q Developer. It's Amazon's "version" of GH Copilot. All devs at Amazon use it (and like it AFAIK!) It excels working with anything AWS.

And it's a public product!

Like they were hiding it... but not!

Three new agents for Amazon Basics GitHub Copilot--sorry, I mean "Amazon Q Developer."

Code review, unit tests, and documentation.

Jesus Christ AWS, you know you’re allowed to have more than one product name, right?

Someone should feel ashamed of this.

I do not like their AI names
I do not like their retcon games
As a customer, what'm I to do
When every service --> Amazon Q?

AWS Chatbot’s Rename to Amazon Q Developer is a Step Backward
Changing AWS Chatbot to Amazon Q Developer presumably serves internal AWS purposes that may or may not resemble empire-building, but it serves no customers.

Amazon Q for Business, Amazon Q Developer, Amazon Q for (Supply Chain | QuickSight | Connect), Amazon Q the Annoying Console Chatbot...

One thing is clear: Amazon's Simple Q'ing Service has gone insane and must be stopped.

This is educational to read: a dev's company moved over to Amazon Q.

This dev is utterly confused because they have never heard of it before.

Every dev inside Amazon uses it (they use Amazon Q Developer Pro), it's a public tool and yet it's Amazon's seemingly best kept secret!

A major task on my todo list is about to be finished: restructuring the content of the "awesome amazon q developer" repository. Instead of grouping by content type, the resources are now grouped by topic. Making it easier for you to discover relevant resources about Amazon Q Developer.

AWS now has much more information (including a CVE) up at aws.amazon.com/security/sec....

The update makes clear that (as is often the case) the issue is oh so very much more complex than it originally appeared.

Oh look what #preinvent brought. Now you can use Q in the CLI on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian).

You can start using it for free with your Builder ID.

My preferred workflow? "q translate"
